I'm guessing your bank doesn't want the land, or the expense of foreclosure. A simple charge-off provides some tax relief for them now, while foreclosing would require legal expenses, plus possible real property taxes and costs to re-sell the land. It's more cost efficient for them to just write it off.

: My Fl. bank tells me they have charged off my loan due to late paymants but they have not placed me in foreclosure yet. I would like to catch up loan payments which I have $$ to do but they refuse to work it out. They claim they will only settle for the entire balance 7K. Land is in Fl.
