Yes. Charge off status does not mean the debt is not owed. It is a term that is used to indicate that the original lender is writing off the debt as a tax loss. The debt can be bought by a third party collector. The collector will use coventional means to seek repayment, such as phone calls, letters. If that is not satisfactory, they may initiate legal proceedings.

The charging or writing off of a debt is only a required accounting entry by the creditor. It does not effect you, or change the amount you owe, or that you owe it.

It does not change any of the legal methods to force collection that were available before making the entry.

All it does is make the creditors accounting statement recognize that an asset (your receivable) that it expected to realize, and already recorded as income, is not going to happen. they are taking the charge to their books for the expense of your not paying, or that it is now considered unlikely you will pay, and the asset does not exist (or in bank terms, is no longer productive).

It does not mean they won't pursue it...in most cases they must. If they get paid (anything or all on it), that amount is considered income and booked as a recovery to replace what they took as a a charge.

What is the value of a gold 2.00 bill?

Because there were never any gold certificates valued lower than $10, I assume your question refers to a bill that's been "enhanced" by the addition of gold leaf and other artistic cues. These are standard $2 bills that are decorated and sold by various private firms as "instant collectibles". To a banknote collector they're considered to be altered or damaged goods and have no added value, but some niche-item collectors may be willing to pay a premium for a well-preserved one in its original case. Generally though the resale market for these items is very poor.

When the original creditor on a second mortgage charges off the loan as bad debt can a collection agency foreclose on the mortgage?

They (collection agency) would first have to buy the mortgage rights from the original creditor (usually for just pennies on the dollar), before they could take action. Normally speaking though, once a charge off has occured, the chances are slim that a 2nd party would buy those rights due to high risk/low chance of recovery of assets and/or cash as the original creditor has probably already tried applying the max legal pressure (hiring a collection agency) to collect the debt.
