Get it marked "paid as agreed" IF you negotiate some type of deal with the lender. It is just a report of what happened. try the above link for more info. Good Luck
No you cannot remove a repossession off your credit report if your cosigner has a judgement on the repossession.
i need to get a repossession off my credit report
7 years
Absolutely. Repossession, whether voluntary or involuntary, show on your credit report as a charged off account. This designation is similar to a collection account and shows that you did not repay the vehicle loan. Such a listing in your credit report would have a significant negative impact.
If the repossession contains unverifiable, incorrect, incomplete, or misleading information, the account may be deleted from your credit report.
One will have to prove to the CB that one wasnt responsible. It will likely involve paying an attorney. Good Luck.
If your power gets shut off and you go in and pay the bill current, did your power get shut off?
Only on your CREDIT REPORT. DMV doesnt care how you got it or got rid off it, as long as ya dont steal it or sell before ya pay for it.
A repossession hurts your credit score whether it is voluntary or not. The creditor will report late payments, a charge off status, and a balance if one is owed. A repossession may hurt your credit score anywhere from 60 to 120 points.
It won't fix it, but paying off any remaining debt from the vehicle should help your credit rating. Unfortunately, a repossession will linger on your credit report for about 7 years.
The credit reporting companies have a dispute form that you can use to dispute anything that is wrong on your credit report. Ask for this form or send a letter detailing the information in your report and explain why it is incorrect. They will investigate the matter and send you their findings. If it is incorrect they will remove it from your report.
IT IS NOT ILEGAL FOR ANYONE TO HAVE A DEBT SHOW UP TWICE ON THEIR CREDIT REPORT. THE BEST THING TO DO IS CALL THE CREDITOR OR COLLECTION AGENCY THAT THIS DEBT IS UNDER AND HAVE THEM REMOVE THE EXTRA INFORMATION OFF OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT. ASK THEM TO REPORT IT TO THE BUREAUS IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED.
