How does paying off a charge off affect your credit?

Usually, once a company charges off a debt, they will send the unsavory transaction to the credit bureaus, lowering one's credit score. Even if that individual pays the charge-off, the damage is done insomuch as the lender rarely sends an updated message indicating that the debt was paid. If you paid the charge-off, you may dispute the transaction line (by having a note added to the line that states that the debt was paid on a particular date), however, you DID allow the debt to get charged off, so that line will only go away after seven (7) years.


What happens if a credit card has been processed under the debit option by mistake?

Typically the point of sale terminal will ask for the pin number. If the user has the pin number, the charge will be handled as a debit charge instead of a credit charge. (It's a little cheaper for the merchant; it will make no difference to the card holder.) If the card does not allow debit transactions or the user does not have the pin, the transaction will be declined.


How credit card processing works?

Each place that you use a credit card has agreed with the issuing company, say Visa for instance, that they will will allow them to "borrow" money from you. It is all done electronically through a central banking system.


How can you get business credit accounts?

One of the best ways to help get business credit is by building your business credit profile. To do so, it is important to get your company's D&B D-U-N-S® Number, which is accessible to all businesses for free, and tax identification number (EIN), which is issued by the IRS. These identification numbers are often required on loan applications and allow you to build business credit separate from personal credit.

Do Merchant agreements allow retail sales to charge more for credit card payment than cash?

Absolutely not. Anyone offering to charge more than the ordinary price for accepting a credit card should be reported to the credit company immediately. On the other hand, offering a "cash discount" is not considered the same thing, as it is no longer the "ordinary price", and it is the merchant who pays the difference (in lost profit).


What if you have a credit card can you go over the limit?

This depends on your credit card company. Some companies will simply refuse your charges if they will put you over the limit. Others will allow the charge and then fine you for going over the limit. Of course, no company allows chages for hundreds of dollars over the limit but if you have a good record some will allow you to go 5-50 dollars over the limit but it is important to remember that if you do you will pay a fee.
