Help/Advice on charged off account.

So I have a question about an account on my EQ report and how it's effecting my score (currently 592 EQ on Myfico). It's an unpaid charge off for $28. The other account that's negative on there is a paid collection, so I'm also trying to GW that off. At any rate, on the unpaid charge off, I have tried to PFD a few times, but they won't budge. So are they just reporting lates constantly and it dragging my score down? As the account ages, it has less and less of an impact, but are these lates still killing me everytime they post, regardless of age? I just wasn't sure how this all worked, and how to deal with it, so I took some screen shots and thought I'd ask some experts on here. Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Re: Help/Advice on charged off account.

Until you pay it, they can continue to report you late every month.  Yes, the lates will impact your score until paid and closed.  Once it is closed they cannot continue to report lates.

Re: Help/Advice on charged off account.

Is it going to hurt my score when I pay it?  And does that effect the date the account can filnally be deleted?  I wasn't sure if it changed any of those things. Thanks for the quick reply! I appreciate it!
