Actually, all payments made to the loan have to be applied to the loan according to the legal loan contract in effect when the payment is made. The fact that the bank charged off the loan due to accounting regulations and the bank has specific accounting methods they have to use to account for any charged off recovery has absolutely no impact on the legal obligation of the borrower or the bank as it relates to the borrower's loan. All payments received should have been applied as contracted to the borrower's loan per the contract, which would then tell you what they still owe you.
