Can a credit card company still continue to charge interest if the debt has been charged off?

Yes, a "charge off" does not indicate that the debt is no longer valid. The creditor has several options on how to collect monies owed after the account has been charged off.


Can a company who closes your account try to collect interest three years after closing the account?

Yes, if you still owed a balance at the time the account was closed. Just because a company closes an account does not mean that any balances that are owed to them disappear. If your account was closed and there was still a balance outstanding and you did not pay that balance, the company has every right to collect the balance and any interest outstanding.


Can a collection agency charge interest of 1030 to a charge off account that has been paid down to 700 from 4514 but you missed two months?

The collection company has probably charged interest sincethe day they received the account. The interest rate can differ from state to state on a charged off account. So yes, they can but that amount is not just for two months. You need to ask for a total breakdown on the account and see if the interest charged is correct.


Can a collection agency issue a warrant for a payday loan check that went back?

If a Payday Loan company hires a collection agency to collect on your account they can send your account to an attorney to collect the amount of the loan and any NSF fees that you have accumulated. However, it is stated at the bottom of your contract that if you close your checking account that the loan is made from, that you can be charged with fraud.


Can a credit card company continue to charge interest on a charged off account?

Charged-off does not mean that you no longer owe the debt or the interest on it. It is an accounting entry that prevents the financial institution from overstating their profits by removing the interest on the debt from their income statement and removing the debt itself from the bank's assets. They still want to be repaid and have every right to collect the principal and interest. If you loaned your friend $50 last night and you were expecting to buy something in the near future, you would probably count that money when you figured out if you could afford it or not - that's an asset. But a year later when you don't know where your ex-friend moved to, you don't expect to ever see that $50 - that's a charged-off debt.

Can you repossess a vehicle if it's been charged off on your credit?

Just because the company charged off the account, does not mean that they don't want to be paid...so if the car is still assessible...they can repo it. Charged off on your credit means that it is no longer an active paying account..the company took a loss for that amount. A different department, "Profit & Loss" will take over trying to collect any way possible. Sorry.
