Best Answer

A debt being designated as a "charge off" does not mean the debt is not valid and collectible. Collection of the debt will still be pursued either through an agency contracted by the original creditor or a third party purchaser. The creditor/collector has the option of filing a lawsuit against the debtor to recover monies owed as well as using common collection practices such as telephone and written correspondence.

This should not show up on your personal credit report, but if you jointly apply for a loan (it is usually required that both spouses be on real estate transactions) it will be listed as one of his obligations and possibly reduce the amount that will be approved. And if the cosigned loan is in default or has been charged-off or repossessed, it could make it difficult to get a joint loan.
