Michelle, a repo is a repo is a repo to a credit score. It says you couldn't meet your obligations and the lender had to take back the collateral to try to get their money. A new lender looking a your CR will see 'repo" and say, well, I better charge this person more because they might not pay me back. NOW, IF you pay off the balance due after the repo is sold, then the new lender might say, well, they had hard times but DID pay what they owed. Lets give them another chance at reasonable interest rates.

If your loan is current and you turn the vehicle back in to the lender can it still be reported as a repo?
YES! A repo is a repo. If you turn the vehicle in to the lender and stop making payments this is called a voluntary repossession. The lender will sell the car and you will be responsible for the difference in what the car sells for and the balance on the loan. It will be reported to all 3 credit bureaus as a default on a loan, and your credit will be ruined for 7 years. You would however save to repo fees such as towing. Do not do this. Call the lender and work something out if possible.
