-- Mary Dear Mary, A charge-off listed on your credit report simply means the lender has reported the debt as a loss. This is done for the lender's tax purposes. Paying a charge-off doesn't get it removed from your credit report. It just lets future creditors know you've made good on that loan. It remains on your credit report for seven years plus 180 days, calculated from the first nonpayment.
