Perhaps. It would depend on the type of debt and the laws of the state in which the debt was incurred. It could very well be that the SOL has expired and the debt is no longer valid.

What steps do you take to repair your credit after a repo?

you can not have true info removed legally from your credit report.


If you have a repossesion on your credit report when you file for bankruptcy will that be removed from your credit report?

No. The repossession will be its own listing. If is was including in the bankruptcy, it will be listed as 'included in bankruptcy' but it will still be listed as its own listing.UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Bankruptcy from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "bankruptcy" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any "verifiable proof" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The Federal Court that the bankruptcy was filed in may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the "verifiable proof" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file.Not only can you get a Bankruptcy Legally Removed from your credit report but you can also get Foreclosures, Default Judgments, Tax Liens, Repos, collections etc...all removed. All negatives no matter how bad, how many or how recent ... they all can be removed legally!

How do you provide additional information about a charge off?

All of the credit reporting bureaus allow you to dispute transaction lines found in the credit report. For actions like chargeoffs, the dispute is really adding a note to the file that one will hope a creditor will read when considering you for credit. You will need to know very specific information concerning the chargeoff (including the account, the amount, when the chargeoff occurred, etc.) and your statement will need to represent why the chargeoff should not be considered when applying for credit.

How can something be removed from your credit report?

It depends on what you mean. If you have erroneous information on your credit report, contact the credit reporting agency and tell them you want to file a dispute. If you're referring to a negative credit account or report that is in fact accurate, you usually cannot have that removed. Entries on your credit report are removed automatically after 7-10 years depending on what it is.


Can a foreclosure be removed from your credit report?

Foreclosures can be removed from your credit report like any other negative item. You must dispute it to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus will have 30 days to verify the foreclosure or it must be removed from your credit report. With the higher amount of foreclosures lately you have a better chance of it being removed. UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Foreclosure from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "foreclosure account" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any "verifiable proof" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The bank that held your mortgage may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the "verifiable proof" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file.
