Definition of 'Skip Account'

Investopedia explains 'Skip Account'

In some cases, accounts can be mislabeled as a skip account. For example, when a typing error (typo) is made on an account it can be mislabeled as a skip account when the debtor is delinquent on repayment. Or an unintentional account error on the part of the debtor (moving without remembering to alert the lender of the change of address) can lead to an account being mislabeled as a skip account.
