How long does cancellation of debt stay on credit report?

How long can a repossession stay on your credit report?

This is tricky. There is no actual listing of the repossession on your credit report. There is a notation in relation to the debt owed. For example: say you borrowed the money for your car from ABC Bank. ABC Bank will then show as a credit action on your report. Next to that will be the balance of the debt, potentially the length of the contract, and a month by month code of your payment history in terms of thirty day payments. If the loan is defaulted, this will be noted. If the vehicle is repossessed, this will be noted as well. If no judgment is obtained, the notation will remain for seven years from the date of last payment. In the event of a judgment, it will remain for ten years.

Pay off a repossession does it get removed from your credit report?

Paying off a repossession will not generally get it removed from your credit report. If you have a good faith basis for disputing the deficiency on your credit report, you should do that. Many consumers have very good arguments as to why they do not owe the deficiency they are being charged by lenders. In addition to disputing the deficiency on your credit report, you want to be sure to defend any deficiency action brought against you by a creditor. Do not default on these lawsuits. When faced with a competent defense, most creditors, debt buyers in particular, cannot prove their case against you. Winning the case is court certainly goes a long ways toward providing you with a sound basis to dispute the alleged debt on your credit report.

If you have been told you have a delinquent debt with a car repossession that was charged off in 1994 can this debt be placed on your current credit report even though you have denied ever owning the car?

A repossession that is over seven years old is not supposed to be on your credit report. It is not unusual for a collection agency to illegaly "reage" a debt in order to try to pressure you to pay. From your post it does not appear that you know what is on your credit report. If you have been denied credit then you are entitled to receive one for free. Contact information for the three credit reporting agencies can be found at solidgoldhomebusiness.com If this item is actually on your credit report then you can dispute the information and demand verification. Dispute instructions will be included with the report.
