Best Answer

If your goal is to avoid future interest, letting an account go into collections is not the way to go. Collection accounts continue to accrue interest and fees, in addition to ruining your credit. If the balance gets high enough, the creditor or collection agency may file suit against you to recover the amount owed.

Does the interest and finance charge stop each month after a credit card charge off?

No - I am a collector and service primarily unsecured credit card debt. Per the cardholder agreement that was signed with the credit card company, the account holder is often liable for a LARGER interest rate after an account goes into collections. This may not always be the case, but I rarely see credit card collections that have interest rates lower than 18%. Finance charges are not often applicable when the tradeline has been closed and charged off into collections.
