Charge Off Account

Use the Charge Off Account endpoint to charge off the specified account (sweep funds and set balance to 0.00) and move the account to status: R (charged off).

These are the rules for using the chargeOffDetails parameter:

  • chargeOffDetails accepts a JSON-formatted list with chargeOffAmount and chargeOffReason as the two keys.
  • The only valid values for chargeOffReason are the numerals 1-13, as shown in the chargeOffReason table.
  • chargeOffAmount is a float that must be greater than 0. If you pass 0 the request will fail.
  • chargeOffAmount is required when chargeOffReason does not equal 1.

Example: [{"chargeOffAmount": 2.6, "chargeOffReason": 5}, {"chargeOffAmount": 4.75, "chargeOffReason": 2}]

To recover a charged-off account use the Recover Charged-Off Account endpoint.
