If a bankruptcy was discharged on an account that was sold to another lender and the original creditor is marking it as a charge off should it be marked as bankruptcy by the original creditor?
Yes, this debt should have been marked as a bankruptcy by the original creditor. It cannot be changed from a bankruptcy to a discharge unless the bankruptcy did not go through.
Can you rid charge offs on your credit report if that creditor was included in your bankruptcy?
The charge offs will remain the required seven years and should be noted as included or discharged in bankruptcy.
If you declared bankruptcy can a creditor continue to mark your report as a charge off even after the date of your bankruptcy?
The account will or should be changed to read "included in bankruptcy". It will still however remain on the report until the seven year time limit expires. However, the account is charged off for the amount that wasn't collected and reporting that would be proper too. (Charge off is how the creditor reflects that you didn't pay and he had a loss on the account...that it was by bankruptcy makes no difference...actually worse).
How do you remove charge offs from a credit report?
Charge-offs remain on your credit report for 7 years. If the account has been included in a bankruptcy, it should be marked as such...."included in bankruptcy". However, according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, if you dispute the charge-off with the credit bureau and the creditor can not verify the account, it must be removed from your credit report immediately. Only the original creditor or the credit bureaus can remove a charge off, either through negotiations or through the dispute process.

Should you include your charge offs on your bankruptcy?
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.
Is a 74 percent charge on battery ok?
It is better than a 50% charge but not as good as a 100% charge.
Can a secondary collection agency collect on a charge-off when the debt is over 3 years old and the original creditor has declared bankruptcy?
More than likely. Three years is not long enough for an SOL to expire. What probably happened was, the account was bought from the creditor, which is common practice. The BK of the original creditor, has no relevancy if the debt was sold.

What is an auto loan charge off?
When a customer is unable to pay of the auto loan the lender will repo the car, sell it, and charge off the remaining amount due to the customer. The exact amount charged off may vary depending on the lender. In the case of a repossession, unless it is a Bankruptcy, the remaining balance is DUE BY THE CUSTOMER. It is important to note, in the case of a bankruptcy, any money that is discharged through the bankruptcy can, at anytime, actually be paid back to the creditor and that negative report will be taken off of your credit report. If someone finally gets into the position that they can actually pay a debt off, it is better to do so.
If an account was included in bankruptcy can the creditor still show it as a charge off?
I think that your credit report would be updated to show that the account was "included in a Ch 7 bankruptcy." You should be able to get a free credit report from www.annualcreditreport.com if you want to check your credit report to be sure the account's status is listed correctly.
