Quick question re. credit report terminokgy re. charge off/written off

[sophieanne]

Hi everyone,

Was reviewing my credit report...thought it would be interesting to see what it was saying since filing bankruptcy (was always good prior to this).

What is the difference between a write-off and a charge-off? Only saw charge off in the report once. A number of the other accounts said written off. The one account was charged off after I filed bankruptcy.

Thanks for any clarification that can be provided and have a great evening.
