It is a good idea...the charging off of an account, done by the creditor, is nothing more than an accounting entry he makes. It is just the way his books reflect that he has had a loss - an asset that won't be received. Your still responsible for the debt.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
