Charge-off
A lender's recognition that a loan will not be repaid, written off against reserves.
A charge-off does not extinguish the debt; collection efforts and any guarantee obligations continue.
On this site, charge-off rates are computed only across FY2010-FY2019 approvals that have reached a terminal status, because recent loans have not had time to resolve.
