There is no direct amount of points that your score will drop. It is all based on your previous credit rating, the timeframe of last negative mark on your credit, the amount of time since charge off, and the amount of credit you have and how its has been handled.

Which action will help increase a low FICO score?
FICO score for mortgageDepends on your definition of "good". You can get a mortgage with 686 score. FICO score over 720 will get you the best mortgage rate.
A beacon score is just the name given to the equifax branded FICO score. So your FICO score and beacon score will be the same if your FICO score is pulled using your equifax credit report.
Short Answer. Very damaging. I don't know the exact numbers for a charge-off but I do know that FICO recently revealed how their damage points work on some other items. For example, if you have 680 credit score and have a 30 day late payment, your score will drop 60 - 80 points. If your score if 780, it will drop 90 - 110 points. That's quite a bit. And I know that charge offs are viewed much worse.

A FICO score is obtained with information taken from a person's available credit information. The score is sold by the FICO Company to interested financial institutions.
A LOT, but how much your score dives also depends on how high or low your scores were before you filed. Because the FICO scoring model is top-secret, there is no way to know EXACTLY how many points you will lose and because there are so many factors that determine your score.
Are you really going to listen to someone who can't spell listen? It is not a scam, it is a legit site. I have been a member of Credit Karma for 3 years now and my identity has not been compromised. The reason it is free is because it is not a FICO score (the one that really matters) it is a score from TransUnion who is a reputable credit report agency. It is very close to the FICO score as it was only 7 points away from my FICO score. And to add, the score is not a real score like FICO. It is a "guessed score" based on your real credit report.
Same as if it was unpaid. It's still a negative or adverse entry in your file which impacts your score..
Approximately 20% of borrowers have a FICO score greater than 740.
