Will an unpaid charge off eventually be waived?
A charge off is an account that the creditor has decided not to collect on. When they are listed as a charge off, that does not mean anything to you except a ding on your credit report. You are still obligated to pay the debt. What usually happens is a third party debt collection agency will make arraingments with the original creditor to come after you. This can be a double dip on your credit report because the original creditor might list it and the debt collector might list it also.
What happens to charged off debt in chapter 7 bankruptcy if you refinance mortgage?
This confuses two different concepts. A "charge off" is an accounting and tax term that means the creditor does not believe a debt is going to be repaid. It gives the lender a tax deduction. A discharge in bankruptcy is a permanent injunction against a creditor taking any action to collect a debt, including debt collection agencies or successors/purchasers of a discharged debt. Assuming the refi of the mortgage happens after discharge, nothing happens. If the refi happens while a c 7 or 13 is still pending, and lowers the mortgage payment, and has been approved by the bankruptcy court, it could affect how much you have to pay to the trustee.

What are charge offs?
Charge offs are accounts that have been written off by the creditor as uncollectable. The debt owed is still valid and can be collected on either by the original creditor or by a collection agency.
