Re: charge offs with auto loans
The charge off signifies merely an accounting action on the part of the creditor with respect to the debtor's loan, meaning, that they no longer are counting it as a collectible asset in their company's portfolio. It in no way changes anything with respect to what legal action may be pursued against the debtor, including the repossession of his or her vehicle or a court action to secure a judgment against the debtor for what remains unpaid on the loan.
