OK, you can relax.
 
No smart dealer will assume that when a customer tells them their loan is "Pre Approved" that it's a done deal.
 
To protect themselves, they will have the customer fill out an application. They will then have an "Option Contract" ready to go just in case the "Pre Approved" loan doesn't go through.
 
No, I hav never had this happen but it does happen.
 
The dealer faxes the information to the customers' lender and the lender delwys paymnet fotr some reason or they decide they want to throw some "stips" in before they approve the loan.
 
So the dealer doesn't get paid. The dealer will then call the customer and they will prod them to get thier lender on the ball. We do like to get paid!
 
As a last resort, the dealer can use the Option Contract fo fund the car deal.
 
As far as your chargeoff that has now been paid, it couldn't have hurt you too bad or you wouldn't have been approved. If a person has otherwise good credit the lenders will assume it was a mistake of some kind.
 
I wouldn't be worried.
