    Written off for profit and loss purposes. They'll still chase the person.

    is probably going to transfer to NAMA or something and still chase them. A write off doesnt mean the person gets away with paying it, its an accounting tool more than anything.

    Once a bank starts providing against a loan, they stop recognising income on it, otherwise they have to keep increasing the provision...

    If there is a judgment obtained interest is accured at 8% per annum as allowed by the courts. Its the banks discretion whether this is applied to the account.
