Hello to all!
I am in the process of cleaning my credit report & I have a question about paying a OC or CA on a charge-off...My understanding is that when the OC charges-off your account, you can no longer pay the OC...Is this true?
I am now trying to plan my attack for this Verizon charge-off!!!
I don't know if I should send a PFD to AFNI and hope they except & then try to GW the crap out of Verizon & hope they will delete after I pay AFNI
Please help!!!!!...Don't know what to do
See below....This is my recent info from my EQ,TU, & EX credit reports (The account numbers are different between AFNI & Verizon, but I know its the same debt)

You should first send the collection companies, validation of debt letters certified mail. If they can not properly validate the debt they must delete the account. After that you might send Verizon a pay for deletion letter and offer to pay the entire balance since its so low. Good luck, but remember the collection companies are not your friends. Good Luck
Hi Helpwithcleanup
If the original creditor charges off the debt and the debt is still with the OC, you can negotiate with the OC and pay off the debt. Now, if the OC still owns your account, you can also negotiate with him to remove the charge off listing from your credit file.
Before sending any PFD agreement, I think that you should get the debt validated. You can find sample debt validation letter by visiting the letters of credit section.
limit on debt amount charge off
is there a limit on an amount to be charge off and can it be charge off before 180 days i paided verizon the $20 i owed the account was opened in august an closed in november same year i just got a cr a it charge off there was no contract just a trial offer what can i do?
limit on amount to be charged off
Hi,
Can you tell as to what limit you are talking about? Is it the time limit? There no specific time limit after which a creditor may charge off your account for going delinquent on it. When a creditor realizes that he won't be able to get the money from you he writes that off as a loss, and charges off the account to a debt collection agency.
Thanks,
Aaron
champan,
you can file a complaint with Telecommunications Agency and your attorney general
Hello!
I was searching a way online to deal with the same thing you are talking about and this post came up. I am so beyond frustrated. Mine is for $123.00 but can't seem to get answers about anything! Good Luck! Thought I would let you know you arn't the only one.
Tiffany if you look at the original post it says that the date of last activitiy is 2004. this is 6 years. there is a 2 year statute of limitations under federal law. can you tell us what the last date of activity on your account? this would be 30 days of last payment.
I got a negative remark on my credit report for 106.00 I have never paid anything late before and now am pissed. I do not owe verizon anything in fact i have a 4.17 cent credit because I over payed. What is my next move? We are military and living over seas so this does not make it any easier....
