Charge-offs will appear on your credit reports when you have a case of delinquency, if you stopped paying on a credit card or an installment loan. After about 6 months of not paying, the debt becomes severely delinquent. At this point the creditor can claim the whole unpaid balance and accumulated interest as a “CHARGE OFF”.

The function of the Credit Bureaus first began as collection agencies and they only gathered negative information. Then Fair Isaac & Company developed the FICO scoring system to improve the overall credit reporting system. Today, the bureaus report both positive and negative credit history to provide a risk-grade rating that estimates your credit worthiness.
