By mistake. Waste no time contacting the credit reporting companies, and demand that this entry be removed from your credit report.

A repossession can drastically hurt your credit score. The repossessed account may report late payments (30, 60, 90 days late), a pad due balance, and a charge-off.

How do you remove a repossession from your credit report?

There are 2 ways to remove a repossession from your credit report. You can dispute it to the credit bureaus under the FCRA and they have 30 days to verify the listing or it must be removed from your credit reports or you can contact the creditor that repossessed the car and negotiate the removal of it upon payment of any money owed. The entry is likely to be changed to late, but paid. Most of these fall off after 7 years.
