Rebuilding Your Credit

Can an OC continue charging interest on an account that has been charged off?

I thought I read somewhere that because of the tax credit, they could still collect principal but not interest on it.

Original amount CO was $3500 may 2007. Now it's $8100 June 2012.

Legal?

It is legal, but it should be spelled out in the original loan/credit card agreement in terms of what additional interest/attorney or collections fees can be added.

Long story short I BELIEVE my ex-wife took this loan out in my name (I certainly don't recall doing it). It was all online, so I requested a copy of the original contract. I got it today and it's very vague. It doesn't have ANY signatures on it and doesn't state anything about fees or interest after charge off. It does make sure to state that this contract is under Nevada law.

Either your contract or another provision of your state law that defines fees that can be collected will determine the legal obligation.

I would consult an attorney in your jurisdiction.
