How can a creditor sue without charging off debt and at what point in time must they charge off bad debt?

Charge offs generally occur 180 days after DLA. It is not necessary for a creditor to designate an account as charged off in order to file a lawsuit. A creditor may file suit at any time an account is in default or in some instances if they have just cause to believe the debt will not be repaid as agreed.
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.
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.

At what point does a creditor decide to charge off an account?
The original creditor is required by law to charge off an account after a 180 day deliquency. In most instances the account is sold to a third party collector. The collection agency will continue collection procedures. If an equitable arrangement cannot be made with the debtor, the collector may refer the account to an attorney who may decide to file a lawsuit.
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.
If you get a charge off deleted from your credit report will it dramatically raise your score or is it worth it?
If there are no other negative items on your credit report, and depending on other small variables, it will be a dramatic (50-100) point increase.

What are your options when paying a collection agency?
You have two options:Do.Or don't.With these two options comes several potentialities.If you do pay them, they may be able to obtain your asset information from your payments. This makes it easier for them to attach your assets in the event they obtain a judgment for the lender against you. If you pay them and continue to pay them until the debt is satisfied, then the same result occurs as if you had paid the original lender.But...you do not owe the collection agency. You do owe the lender. You do not have to talk to the collection agency at all. You are not required to make arrangements to them or pay them. You should not give them any information.If you do not pay the agency and you do not pay the creditor, the agency may eventually process the account for legal action on behalf of the creditor. At this point, their collection engine really goes into gear. They will take any information you have provided to them, and some you did not, and seek to attach your wages, your bank accounts, your stocks, your bonds, your certificates of deposit, your state tax returns, or any other liquid assets they can (and will) find.If you pay the creditor and ignore the agency, you will hurt the feeling of the agency employees. They may even become angry, but as long as you continue to pay the creditor, there is little they can do. Just be certain to pay the balance as quickly as possible and keep record of every payment you make. In the event the agency files for judgment you want to have these records handy to be able to steal their thunder in court.

Why ammeter sHow is higher current in discharging than charging?
The Ammeter is showing higher use that recharge is because if the battery is charged a too high a rate then you end up with what is called a float charge. You can actually over charge a lead acid battery to the point that it will start generating Hydrogen gas. In all essence you are boiling the battery dry when over charging. So to avoid this the voltage regulator controls the charging current going to the battery so the battery is not overcharged and damaged. Batteries given a slow charge will retain the charge better and longer than high current short term charging. It's like giving the battery a deep cycle charge the lower current and slower the charge the better the battery reserve and cold cranking amp level is maintained. Hope that helps

The electric field of a point charge always points away from the charge?
If the given point charge is of positive one then the field points away from the charge. This is because we define the field at a point as the FORCE acting on unit POSITIVE charge. Like charges have to repel and hence the direction. If, other wise, the point charge is negative then electric field due to this negative charge would be towards the negative and not away from it.
