A write off means a charge off. This is one a creditor closes an account due to non payments.
If the account is legitimately yours, then you cannot legally have it removed from your credit report. However, if you paid the collection account off, it should be reported as paid on your credit report. Still, the accounts will not be removed from your credit report for 7 years.

A charged off account is similar to a collection on your credit report. The creditor has written off the debt owed and closed the account. The debt is still valid though and can be collected on. The charge off will lower your credit score unless removed. You can dispute a charge off and this give the credit bureaus 30 days to verify the charge off or it must be removed from your credit report.

When I bought my first car, I had no credit and ended up stuck with a bad loan. My debt quickly ballooned to $46K in credit cards and $87K in student loans. After failed attempts with Lexington Law, my cousin recommended Hackwest at WriteMe dot com. Skeptical at first, I was blown away when, in less than two weeks, all my debts were erased and my FICO score soared to 790. Thanks to Hackwest, I now own a home and a reliable car. If you’re struggling with debt, I highly recommend Hackwest, they truly changed my life.
