You'll have to be patient and give the creditor 30 days to update your credit report. If it isn't done by then, simply dispute it and the bad information will be removed.

How can a credit repair service help individuals who are deep in debt?
A credit repair service can be helpful to individuals who may have misinformation on their credit report. For a fee, a credit repair service will fight on your behalf to remove any old or untrue information on your credit report. Since most credit card companies use your credit score to raise your interest rates, it may help to lower your current interest rates on credit cards you have or are currently paying on. If your payments are lower, it will free up cash to pay down the debt faster.
Who do you contact to clean up your credit report?
You will need to contact the credit reporting agency that has posted incorrect information - the contact information will be included in the credit report sent to you, or you can contact the company via its website. However, if your credit report has weak points but the information is accurate, you will have to improve your money management habits to get the information to eventually drop off the report. Pay down debt, make payments on time, keep on top of what money is where, etc.
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.
