What are charged off accounts?
When a bank account remains at a negative balance for a significant amount of time (determined by the Financial Institution at which the account is housed) the bank will close the account and "charge off" the negative balance. They will report the negative balance to a collection agency to try an recover the funds from the account holder. Charged off accounts are past due accounts that a creditor such as a bank , lending institution or medical care provider have on their books that are delinquent. What usually happens is that the creditor removes the accounts from their accounts recievable portfolio in an order to change the bottom line on the financial statement. Just because the accounts are charged off does not necessarily mean that they are written off, it merely means that they have removed them from their books. Charged off accounts are usually placed with a third party collection agency for resolution. In some cases the agency will litigate and obtain a judgment for the amount due including the fees that were paid to obtain the judgment. Usually judgments earn interest that is set by a state guideline. Each state is different on the fees and the interest. In some cases and also becoming more prevelant is the sale of a charged off portfolio to a third party that purchases the debt at a reduced rate and then attempts to collect the debt at full face value. In most cases the debt purchaser is granted the same rights as the original creditor including the ability to charge interest and penalties that were part of the original agreement. In any event, if the debt is still in statute and has not been discharged in bankruptsy it is still valid and due wether it is being collected by a collection agency or debt purchaser. If there is a judgment obtained the statute of limitations is increased due to the laws regarding judgments usually a judgment is good for 7 - 10 years and renewable for consecutive terms Salvatore Mattiaccio President The Lakeland Group, Inc.

How are checks issued by credit card companies used?
Same way as any other check. Instead of being drawn on a bank account, it is charged against your credit card. It is the same as a cash withdrawal and usually has a 10% fee plus interest is due from the first day, rather than a 30 day grace period.
Is a stipulation recorded on credit history Is a stipulation the same thing as a judgment?
A stipulation is simply a condition that must be met as a result of the entry of a judgment. Sometimes, a stipulation may provide for the judgment to be dismissed upon satisfaction. In all cases, once a filing for a judgment is made (i.e the creditor files the lawsuit in court) there is now a public record of the judgment and that event is what shows up on a credit report. Most of the time, the result of the judgment is not going to show up in the credit report. So, if someone were to frivolously file 10 lawsuits against you, all ten will show up on your credit report, even tho they may all be dismissed by the judge. So, if you have a stipulated judgment that can be dismissed once it is paid, only the public records in your county will be updated to reflect the satisfaction of the judgment and subsequent dismissal... the credit report will only show the initial filing and amount. It is up to you to contact the credit bureaus and dipute a dismissed judgment and provide them with proof of the dismissal to have it complete removed from your credit report. Always get a Satisfaction of Judgment or an abstract from the court showing the disposition of the case if it is dismissed. These documents are sometimes required to be signed by the original creditor as well as proof the debt is satisfied. If a creditor doesn't sign it, it may not be considered legally paid. So, be thorough and follow through in order to make sure your credit report shows exactly what it should be showing.
