When there is a charge off on your credit history it will dramatically lower your credit score. This will make getting new credit very hard.

When approval does happen you will be forced to pay exuberant interest rates or make a hefty down payment. This is how lenders penalize people when they are incapable of making their payments.

This system does not recognize that catastrophic events occur. When someone is faced with the decision of feeding their family or making a payment, the choice is obvious.

Credit bureaus want you to think that when a charge off occurs you are stuck. That you will have to pay the penalties until the negative listing is naturally removed with time. This is false.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act any inaccurate or unverifiable listing must be corrected by the credit bureau. Often creditors are not willing to spend the money or time to verify non collectable debts.

Regardless of the veracity of the listing it is typically removed when an investigation occurs. However complications happen in the initial stage of requesting the investigation.

This happens because the credit bureaus only motive to conduct an investigation is to be compliant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The bureaus don't earn any extra money from conducting an investigation and instead spend money that would otherwise be profit.

So credit bureaus will often use stall tactics in an attempt to frustrate the individual into giving up on the dispute process. This is why many people will hire a professional credit repair firm, to deal with the credit bureaus.
