Credit Problems?

I had four credit cards in 2001 and was paying on them. I was pregnent and my husband got hure at work. So we could'nt pay them. I did a charge off on all of my credit cards. Can you tell me when the charge off will be takin off my credit is it the date i stopped paying my actual credit card bill or when i payed the charge off. I am trying to build up my credit to buy a house and i can't do anything untill I get rid of the charge offs off my credit. Thank You

Answers:
It will take 7 years before it's been deleted from your credit history BUT you still can do many things to improve your credit : http://cleancredit365.com


Good luck !
Credit card accounts stay on your credit report for 7-years.

Normally it's 7-years from the date of first delinquency.
Bankruptcy would have been a better alternative than a charge off. Why? Once you file bankruptcy you cannot file again for 7 years. Companies know this and therefore can garnish wages if you cannot pay. With a delinquincy, companies are more hesitant to give you credit because they know you can file bankruptcy at any time. A bank may give you a loan at a less than ideal interest rate. I would suggest buying a car and paying it off soon. This will help your credit score considerably. It will also show a bank that you are on more financially sound ground than before. If a mortgage will cost you more than 35% of your combined income, you should never purchase that house, condo, etc. When buying a house don't make the mistake most people do and only see the mortgage. You must also pay for utilities, maintenance and property tax.
