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.

Can you pay a fine to get a judgment removed from your credit report?

No, judgments remain on a credit report for seven years. Some types of judgments are renewable and therefore can remain on a report an indefinite amount of time. If you are willing to pay a fine, why not just pay the judgment?


Will it still affect your credit report if you pay the full costs ten days after repossession?

As a rule, YES. It is up to the lender to post a repo on your CR and most do it automatically.


If you have several small balances on your credit report can you negotiate to pay these and have them removed?

Credit accounts aren't removed until 7-10 yrs. after they are first reported and/or paid in full depending on which type of account it is.


If your bankruptcy is going to be removed how many points will your credit score go up?

If you have disputed to have the bankruptcy removed in your dispute letter request your free credit report to be sent to you with the updated information. When a CRA corrects information on your credit report they have to send you a free copy of your credit report showing the updated information. This of course is if you had to dispute to get it removed if it just rolls off on its own you may have to pay for your credit report if you've already gotten your free yaerly report. That depends on a lot of factors. Your credit score is calculated using certain formulas and factors, such as amount of total credit versus credit being used, number of accounts, payment history of current accounts, etc. You're best bet is to obtain your score after you think the bankruptcy has been removed. You'll probably have to pay for it, but it's worth peace of mind.

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.
