Please note, a charge off does not mean a debt is not still valid and collectible by whatever means is available to the creditor/owner of the debt according to the laws of the debtor's state.
Due to the current state of the economy many large credit card issuers have opted using the debt mediation board for defaulted accounts. This means the creditor can shorten the time of legal action by avoiding a civil suit and requesting a decision from the board. However, even if the meditation board finds in favor of the creditor, the creditor must obtain a final writ of judgment from the district court in the state where the debtor resides. After a judgment has been granted the judgment holder can execute it against the debtor in several ways, the preferred method is wage garnishment.

If you pay a charged off credit card how long does it take to go on your credit report?
Your charged off and now paid off card will show that you've had a charge off and that you've paid it off. It will also indicate if you paid an amount less than what the original debt was, if you came to that agreement with the creditor. The item should show on your credit report for 7 years from the last payment activity you made on it. So, if you paid it off today, February, 2008 it would stay there until February, 2015. Do not assume that anything "drops off" of a credit report without verifying it. Make sure that you check your credit reports (all three) minimally on an annual basis to find what's there and make sure things that are too old are challenged.
