Remove a Charge Off

A charge off is a very detrimental mark for your credit score. Having this on your credit history will make getting approved for a new credit line very difficult.

When approval does happen you will be forced to pay exuberant interest rates or make a hefty down payment. This is how lenders penalize people when they are incapable of making their payments.

The system does not allow for unexpected events. Sometimes these events will force a good person to choose between repaying a debt and providing for their family.

Credit bureaus want you to think that when a charge off occurs you are stuck. That you will have to pay the penalties until the negative listing is naturally removed with time. This is false.

The FCRA or Fair Credit Reporting Act states that a credit bureau must remove a listing that is inaccurate of can not be verified. Lenders will rarely spend the time or money to verify an old debt.

Regardless of the veracity of the listing it is typically removed when an investigation occurs. However complications happen in the initial stage of requesting the investigation.

This happens because the credit bureaus only motive to conduct an investigation is to be compliant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The bureaus don't earn any extra money from conducting an investigation and instead spend money that would otherwise be profit.

Thus credit bureaus are very resistant to granting an investigation. They have a formula in place to discourage and frustrate an individual when they request an investigation. This is the common reason people will hire a professional credit repair firm.
