It depends. The report of the repossession itself will remain for seven years from the date it was recovered. The account, with the defaulted and potentially charged off balance will also remain for seven years after the vehicle was sold at auction and the purchase price was applied to the debt. If the lender obtains a jugment against you, then it will remain for ten years from the date the judgment was granted.

Does paying off a deficency on a repossesion take it off your credit as a repo?
NO. What this will do is satisfy the debt only. This will show in favor on your credit, but it will still show as a repo. You are better off paying the debt. If you are doing this, make sure to have them issue a satifaction of debt letter to the credit bureaus. This will increase your score.
How long does a repo stay on your credit report in California?
If this repossesion is continously being resold to third party collection agencies; which happens often, then this repossesion will stay on your credit file up to 7 years. The "7 year clock" is a myth. There is no 7 year clock, the only clock that you should be aware of is the Statue of Limitation for the state that you purchased this vehicle. Google the statue of limitation for this state, and check to see the "date of last activity or the date of last payment". If your repossesion is over the SOL, then dispute this information with the bureaus, and have this permenatly removed from your credit report. If it is not over the SOL then wait until it is, unless you are ready to make a settlement offer. My suggestion is to make a settlement of 30% of the balance owed. Get everything in writing before making this final payment. Once you make this payment request for another letter stating that this account is settled in full. Though it was settled for less, this will help your credit score and report. Update this information with all three bureaus. Good Luck with this process. Wanda Improve Credit, LLC
How does car repossesion affect credit score?
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. A repossession can lower your credit score anywhere from 30 to 200 points depending on the other accounts reporting on your credit report.
