Can a company still report a repossessed car after 7 years on your credit report?

Yes ... these matters can remain on one's credit reports for up to 15 years. This is why it is so crucially important to pay every bill that is due on time, everytime.

If you voluntarily let your car be repossessed by the lender do you still have to pay on the loan?
Yes! It will still be listed on your credit report as a voluntary return and you will still be responsible for the cost
If a credit card company says you owe them money but it is not on your credit report do you have to pay?
If it isn't on your credit report, the credit card company still has hopes of you paying it off. When they see that isn't going to happen, you can bet your butt that it WILL be on your credit report.
If a car is repossessed and the loan is paid in full and you get your car back do you still have a repo on your credit report?
IF the lender posts a repo on your CR, you have one. You will have the repo on your credit report, but it should also show up as "redeemed".
Is it better to turn your car in that to have it repossessed?
It will still show up as a repo on your credit report, even if you brought the car back and told them you can't pay for it.
If you make voluntary payments on a car loan that was discharged in a bankruptcy can they still report it as a repossession on your credit report even though the debt is not legally owed?
My guess is that they probably can still list a repo on your credit report. Normally you get a double-hit on your credit report when you surrender property in bankruptcy: you get hit with the bankruptcy (which knocks your credit score down by 75 to 150 points) and you get hit with a repo/foreclosure for the surrendered property. Just because a debt is discharged in bankruptcy doesn't mean that it won't be listed on your credit report, it simply means the debt is no longer collectable. The credit report will continue to show the debt on your credit report and should list it as "discharged in bankruptcy." Similarly, if a person surrenders a home in bankruptcy, the foreclosure still goes on their credit, and if a person surrenders a car in their bankruptcy, it still shows up as a repo on the credit report. So, my guess is that a repossessed car, even one for which the debt was wiped out in bankruptcy and one that was not repossessed for some time after bankruptcy since voluntary payments were made for awhile, will still show on the credit report as a repo when it is ultimately repossessed. I can't say this is a definitive answer, but this is how I think the process works. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
Do you still have to pay a debt that shows its been settled on your credit report?
Call your credit card company and inquire. If you can not get through, cancel the card.
If a credit card is not activated does it still reflect on your credit report?
Yes. If they extend the line of credit to you, and you do not activate it, it will still show up on your credit report.
Will it hurt if you voluntarily return my car?
Yes, it can still hurt your credit if you voluntarily return a car. The car company will still put the debt you owe on your credit report if they choose too.
How do you report a paid off car loan if company did not report?
You need to obtain a copy of the letter stating that the loan id paid in full and just show that to them. If they are still telling you that nothing was reported pull a copy of your credit report to be on the safe side. If nothing's on your credit credit and it is still holding you back from getting something else that requires your credit to be checked than contact the Credit agency.
If you made all the back payments on a repossessed car and paid the fees that were due would the repossession still show up on your credit report?
YES I have a letter if you would like it that you can send to the parties involved that may or may not be able to help you get this off your credit report. let me know if you would like it.
Is there still a past due amount on your credit report after foreclosure?
The foreclosure will be on your credit report indefinitely.
What does a credit card debt settlement work and how does it affect my credit?
Usually, they contact the cc company. Negotiate a lower rate. You pay the settlement company directly instead of the cc company. The effect varies depending on the cc company and the credit report company. It may say that the account is in some type of deliquency despite the fact that you are paying it off. It may just say the account is closed and show your balance (which still lowers your score because it increases your debt to credit ratio since you have a balance despite no credit available.) It won't be horrible on your report though. You can still have good credit despite doing this.
