A charge-off is a notation on your credit report indicating that the original lender has written off the charge as unlikely to ever be paid. An account that is 120 to 180 days past due usually will be charged off. Obtaining a mortgage with a charge-off on your credit report is challenging, but if the charge-off is old enough and you rebuild your credit, you still may be able to obtain a loan with favorable terms. need more anyone just find in Florida unitedcounselors dot org

Buying a house or renting a house?

If you can buy, definitely do that. That way instead of paying rent, you're paying off your mortgage. It depends on the relative cost of buying versus renting in your area. In many places it costs less on a monthly basis to buy a home than to rent one, but in some locales rent is very cheap compared to buying a house. In those places you might be better off renting and saving the additional money that would have gone towards the costs of buying. That money saved could be used to buy a better home at some point, perhaps in a cheaper city.


How do charge offs affect your credit?

Charge offs will drastically lower your credit score, just like any negative item similar to collections, judgments, and liens. They will stay on your credit report for 7 years unless removed. The more money owed and the more recent the charge off the more it will lower your credit score. You can remove charge offs by disputing them to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus have 30 days to verify the charge off or it must be removed from your credit report.

In the short run, yes. However, after buying a home, the home will typically gain value over the years as you pay it off. Not to mention that if you intend to live in the same home for about 25 or more years, the home will eventually be paid off, but you'll never stop paying rent on a rental home.

A bank or a loan company can "charge off" a small amount of debt to get the amount off their books. However, this will affect a person's credit report. And it does not mean the person does not have to pay the debt. A debtor should still work to pay off the charge off, to clear the debt and save their credit rating.
