These are a few questions you need to ask yourself. 1. Do you have proof the the actual balance that should have been shown. 2. Have you taken into consideration late fees, intrest charges, costs of collections attempted and costs of attorney. I am a loan officer at my place of employment and this is a small little ditty we put on our loans and member must sign that they were told this. You need to read your copy of your agreement with a fine tooth comb. Actual costs of collections including court costs and attorney fees may be applied to the balance of your loan if you default on your agreement. If you still belive the amount on your credit report that was charged off is false you need to have your attorney speek with the creditor in question and have them prove/break down the charges added onto your balance. If they cannot come up with this call the credit bureaus and request a change with doing so you must show proof of the balance in question being lower than shown on the report.

Talk to a credit dispute representative and file a dispute.

If you sell a car you owe a creditor a balance on, you pay the creditor the amount you owe him in order to get the title to the vehicle to turn over to your buyer. Anything over the balance owed to the creditor is yours to keep, assuming you sold it for more than you owed on it. If you sold it for less than you owe on it you will have to pay the additional amount out of your pocket to get the title.
