Paying off $9K loan while considering charge off on $18K loan

Charge off may affect credit score and future borrowing options

What I wish I knew
"Refinancing or negotiating with lender could have been explored"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate with lenders and explore all options before charge off"
