What happens when a Bank loan is charged off?

It will show on your credit report where your bank loan was "Charged Off". This means the bank wrote off the money and gave up on collecting it. However they can sell that debt to a collection agency to try and collect it. It will show on your credit report for 7 years.


Should you file bankruptcy if most of your debt has been charged off?

Filing bankruptcyI may be wrong on this, but my understanding is that "charged off" simply means the creditor has written the debt off (as in written it off as a loss on their taxes, or turned it into their insurance company as a bad debt, etc.) but in no way affects the collectability of the debt. I suspect if they later collect on a charged off debt, they have to claim the money they receive as income on their taxes since they wrote it off earlier. I may be wrong about this though... I definitely don't think that "charged off" means "forgiven," though. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.


How can you repair credit card debt?

While there are many companies that will make claims to "repair" your credit, all they really do is take your money and ask your creditors to "write off" portions of the debt, when they do that, it's reported to the credit bureau, and although the debt is technically paid, you still have a footnote that the creditor wrote off some of the debt. The best way to repair your debt is to just pay your bills. Your credit will "heal" over time as people see that you are now acting responsibly.

Can a collection agency sue you for money in any state How can they do that if the original company wrote it off Is this legal?

When you default on some debt, the original creditor writes it off. When they write it off, they usually sell it to collection agency. Since the collection agency bought it, it becomes theirs. If they try to collect and you don't pay, they can sue you. Learn your rights by reading up on the FDCPA.
