What to do about these two charged off cards?

I've been working heavily on getting my report cleaned up. Now I've begun working on my wife's reports. I found these two charged off credit cards on her report. I'm just curious to others' opinions as to what course of action we should take with each of them. Thanks in advance! Sorry if it's hard to read...

Cap-1 attempt the PFD, verify its past your states SOL if so you may be able to offer less than full payment, this one may be going against your utilization costing you Fico points in addition to the CO. If they wont do the PFD and typically its an uphill battle with them then settle to stop the updating of the account your Fico cannot recover with monthly updating.

 

Chase, its been sold you can send them a GW letter asking for removal of the TL but since they took a loss they may not be in a goodwill mood, try anyway but I will caution you it hasnt updated in awhile and if they update its going to drop your Fico some.

The Cap1 stands a high chance of also being sold in order to recoup a bit more of their expected total loss.

You might wish to offer payment to them, first by trying a PFD, but then maybe without such a contingency in order to prevent sale and the reporitng of a collection.

Thanks for the response. I will try PFD with Cap 1 and go from there. As far as Chase goes, sounds like I may just want to let it ride. Sure don't want to wake a sleeping dragon. It should fall off on its own in 2017. 

 

It it freaked me out when I saw on the report that Cap 1 has still been reporting late payments every month for the past 5 years. That's crazy. I've got to get that stopped. But if I pay them, then the 7 year wait will restart? I'm in year 5 right now.

 

Thanks!

Nope, the DoFD is a set in stone date and it can never be changed once an account reaches CO status.
