Chase Checking Account after Charge Off

[Anonymous]

I had a Chse Slate card that was charged off in 2013 with a balance of $1,950. It's showing on my credit report as charged off. I opened a checking account and saving account today at the local branch with no issues at all. Before I go depositing all of my money into these accounts, can Chase just take all of my deposited money without notice to satisfy this debt?

Hi EnronRocks (GREAT USER NAME LOL)

Welcome to the forum ......so.....to answer your question....

They CAN and they WILL....

My advice to you....open an account with another bank until you settle the Chase account.

Look up Lender's Right To Settle. It basically means they can harvest funds out of any account you have with them to settle owed debts.

They have right of set off and they can exercise it if they wish

Do they have that right forever? Or only within SOL? Or only until they write it off for tax purposes?

I just called and settled it with them. They offered the most ridiculously low settlement I've ever seen, granted I don't have much experience. I even made sure that hebsrttlement agreement stated they will never touch and deposits in an account with Chase for the debt after paid and agreeing to the settlement.
