creditors a/c ...dr.
To cash a/c
You pay the organization/creditor to whom the judgment was granted.
credit the debtor and debit the creditor
You can pay off the amount owed to the creditor.
Your creditor added a negative entry (a charge-off) to your credit report and will continue to attempt to collect on the debt.
Writes a check and sends it out to the creditor.
When a payment is made to a creditor, the following journal entry is recorded in the books of accounts
A very good idea. Any charge off - which is really only an accounting entry on the books of your creditor - that you haven't received an offical agreement/notice that the creditor has actually forgiven the debt and relieved you of having to pay, (not just accepted it may be worth nothing and uncollectable), is still an obligation to you.
You can pay the judgement, which will pay the creditor. Or, you can request to pay the creditor directly and negotiate for the judgement to be vacated (removed).
Make your payment to the clerk of courts office in the county your judgment was entered in.
Not unless it is in writing unfortunatly.
No, as they are the legal agent of the original Creditor and the arrangements made with the collection agency are binding on the original Creditor.
Hard to say. Disputing the collection after you pay off the creditor could still come back as 'verified' from the credit bureaus simply because the collection did happen. If the collection agency does not respond to the credit bureau's query, then the entry will be removed.
