The charging or writing off of a debt is only a required accounting entry by the creditor.
It does not effect you, or change the amount you owe, or that you owe it.
It does not change any of the legal methods to force collection that were available before making the entry. It does not change any of the creditors rights, or change your obligation in it. The debt is NOT forgiven.
All it does is make the creditors accounting statement recognize that an asset (your receivable) that it expected to realize, and already recorded as income, is not going to happen. they are taking the charge to their books for the expense of your not paying, or that it is now considered unlikely you will ay, and the asset does not exist (or in bank terms, is no longer productive). When the charge off occurs depends on many things in accounting parlance...most companies actually establish an account for expected bad debts (an accrual) as a current charge against sales, (expecting some to go bad), and adjust that account on experience...without having to do much on any particular account.

After a car loan has been charged off as a bad debt can the repo man still recover it?
Yes, the repo man can still recover the vehicle. The term charge off only describes the status of your account with a financial institution. It doesn't resolve that actual lien that the financial institution has on the vehicle. In other words, your name is on the title but financial institution is the owner/lienholder of the vehicle until the balance on the account has been paid off.

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.
