What happens to a vehicle when the loan is charged off?
A charged-off car loan, like a charged-off debt, is sold by the original lender. However, just because it’s charged off doesn’t mean you’re no longer responsible for paying it. The loan is typically sold or transferred to another lender or to a collection agency, and they attempt to collect the debt from you.
Can a creditor come after you for a charge off?
A charge-off in no way erases the debt that you owe. It still exists, and you’re still liable for it. The creditor or a debt collection agency can also still attempt to collect on a charged-off debt.
Is a charge-off worse than a collection?
A charged-off account that has a past-due balance is worse than a charged-off account that has been paid or settled. I know that’s hard to believe, but the value of a collection in your score is the incident, not the balance. That’s why paying off a collection doesn’t actually result in a higher credit score.
How can I get a charge off removed without paying?
