paying off a charge-off

A lot of you might be wondering, does paying off a charge-off increase your credit score? Charge-off accounts are not going to be deleted from the credit report. This is even if you offer to pay the finance company. So simply paying off a charge-off account will not yield an appreciable boost to the credit score. There are other ways to remove charge-offs. You want to look at all 3 credit reports side by side and look for inconsistent, inaccurate account details and challenge the bureaus. From there, you can send a dispute letter by certified mail to the credit bureaus. You can attach with it a screenshot of the account from all 3 reports and point out the inconsistencies.
