I had to look up “charge off” (I always pay my bills ya know) and yeah it’s not a positive thing.

“Charged off doesn’t mean your debt is forgiven. Don’t be misled into believing that because the creditor wrote off your balance that you no longer need to pay the debt.
Even when a company writes off your debt as a loss for its own accounting purposes, it still has the right to pursue collection. This could include suing you in court for what you owe and requesting a garnishment of your wages. Unless you settle or file for certain types of bankruptcy or the statute of limitations in your state has been reached—you’re still responsible for paying back the debt.”
ugh, this is the cause of “the first descendant” issues too, I just know it. Guess which CPU I own 😣
