Recall of a debt by a creditor is when the original creditor asks for the debt to be returned to them after they have sold it, often to a collection agency. This may occur if the debt has not been collected for a certain amount of time, and the debt will be sold to another agency to collect, or if the debtor offers the original creditor a settlement.

What does 'Transferred Account charged off' mean?

It means the original creditor has given up the account and sold it to a collection agency. It does not mean the debtor is relieved of the debt. Someone wants the money and they will get it, somehow.


Should you pay off a debt that is already listed on your credit report as charged off?

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.


How can you find out if a debt has been written off?

The term "written off" does not mean the debt has been cancelled/forgiven. The term indicates that the original creditor will no longer continue to collect the debt in the usual manner. The debtor will receive a notice from the original creditor of whatever further action will be taken with the account.


Does a 1099C mean the creditor has cancelled the debt?

Yes. A 1099C is confirmation from the creditor or lender that the debt has been cancelled and collection efforts have ended. The bad news is, the amount shown on the 1099C is considered taxable income and must be claimed on your federal tax return.

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 is the difference between 'paid' and 'closed' on a credit report?

The general rule is "paid" means the account has been, well, "paid." Closed means the account has been closed or written off by the original creditor. This could mean they gave it up as being uncollectable or they have sent it to a collection agency or sold it to a third party creditor.

How does the addition of a constant and multiplication by a constant affect the arithmetic mean?

If you add the same constant to each element of a sample then the mean of this collection of values will be the mean of the original sample plus the constant.

Can a creditor sell your account after filing bankruptcy?

Sure...it doesn't change the rights of the creditor...or your obligations as a dedtor...the buyer probably paid very little and is hoping your BK will pay the debt off at a higher amount. Basically, a creditor may sell his rights at any time....it is does not change your obligation under the loan at all. To clarify, it does not mean the new creditor can disregard the bankruptcy and any bar on collection activities that may be in force just because they just bought the debt. They only get the rights to what you would have paid the original creditor in the bankruptcy - they "step into the shoes" of the one they bought from.
