Yes. Charge-off is merely an internal accounting term which creditors are required to do by law. The statute of limitations for suit on a debt in Texas is 4 years.

Re: charged off credit card

Maybe, depends upon when the next payment after your last payment was due and you defaulted. The date of default starts the clock, not the date of charge-off.
