Best Answer

It is up to the discretion of the credit card company. Most companies will charge off a card after 120 days of non payment. You can stop the charge off process by calling customer support and speaking with a CSR. Once a card is charged off you usually can call customer support and get it turned back on for a nominal fee and possibly payments. This varies by card and you will have to call them to find out.

Can you open an account with a bank if you have had a charge off with a past account?

Typically no, once your account gets to the point of charged off, it has been overdrawn for roughly 45 days (give or take). Your name and SSN then get reported to ChexSystems which then notifies every bank of your charged off account. Not many banks want to risk losing their money to you if you've already lost money for another bank. Your best chance to get an account is to go back to the bank your account was charged off, explain what happened, and hope for the best. And next time balance your checkbook... daily.

What does it mean when an account has been charged off on a credit report?

Charged off is a shortened version of "charged off to profit and loss". This is an accounting term which describes actions taken by creditors to avoid showing loss (red ink) on their books. For a consumer, charge off is the same as a collection account. It is a defaulted debt that remains owing until paid in full, at which time it is called a paid charge off.
