How to Dispute a Charge-Off

Review charge-off reporting for possible factual errors.

Step 1

A charge-off can still report if it is accurate, so start by checking whether the creditor, balance, status, and dates match your documentation.

Step 2

Potential issues can include wrong account ownership, incorrect payment status, duplicated reporting, or dates that do not align with the account history.

Step 3

Use software to organize the evidence before generating correspondence from your own verified facts.
