the original creditors claim should drop off and the CA claim stay. Double?? Likely, the unterest and fees are building up. Try to settle this somehow. They WILL deal.

Can they still charge you all late fees and interest if you cancel your credit card?
If there is an outstanding account balance. Closing/canceling the account will not eliminate any fees or penalties that were in the agreement when the account was opened. There might also be an annual charge even though the account has been deactivated.
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Yes, a "charge off" does not indicate that the debt is no longer valid.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.
What is a Charge-off in a credit report?
A charged off account is similar to a collection on your credit report. The creditor has written off the debt owed and closed the account. The debt is still valid though and can be collected on. The charge off will lower your credit score unless removed. You can dispute a charge off and this give the credit bureaus 30 days to verify the charge off or it must be removed from your credit report.
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 creditor keep reporting a charged off account?
That is perfectly legal. The term "charge off" does not mean that the debt is not still valid and fully collectible.
Can an account be in Charge Off Status if payments are behind but being made?
Yes, it can. Just because a creditor charges off your debt, does not mean that you don't still owe it. Before you pay on a charge off, make sure you get an agreement from the creditor to delete it from your credit report once it's paid!

What are charge offs?
Charge offs are accounts that have been written off by the creditor as uncollectable. The debt owed is still valid and can be collected on either by the original creditor or by a collection agency. You can only erase charge offs by disputing them to the credit bureaus or negotiating the removal by the original creditor.
What does it mean when an accout on your credit report says closed but there is still a balance?
One of two things. First, you still owe the money. but you can not use that credit account anymore. or Second, you have paid off the account and the creditor has not notified the credit bureaus that you have paid this account in full. If it is paid in full, I suggest you notify the credit agencies.
Can a credit card company close your account charge it off and still continue to add late fees and interest to the account?
they can if it contains a balance. if they charged it off and gave you a zero balance and a pay off letter then they cannot. If they closed the account and reduced the amount you owe you are still responsible for the payments including late fees and interest.
Collection acct removed but original creditor still remains?
Yes, reporting to your credit by a collections agency does not effect the reporting originally made by your creditor. It most normal cases you would see the original creditor having reporting the account as a "charge off" regardless of any reporting made by a collections agency afterwords.
Can a creditor in Arizona report you as a charge off when you are still making payments on the vehicle?
Only if they actually took the charge off.
If you declared bankruptcy can a creditor continue to mark your report as a charge off even after the date of your bankruptcy?
The account will or should be changed to read "included in bankruptcy". It will still however remain on the report until the seven year time limit expires. However, the account is charged off for the amount that wasn't collected and reporting that would be proper too. (Charge off is how the creditor reflects that you didn't pay and he had a loss on the account...that it was by bankruptcy makes no difference...actually worse).
Will an unpaid charge off eventually be waived?
A charge off is an account that the creditor has decided not to collect on. When they are listed as a charge off, that does not mean anything to you except a ding on your credit report. You are still obligated to pay the debt. What usually happens is a third party debt collection agency will make arraingments with the original creditor to come after you. This can be a double dip on your credit report because the original creditor might list it and the debt collector might list it also.
