The only way it will clear is after 7 years it will be taken off. If it has been past that time frame then you need to contact the credit burea or the company that repossesed the ca.

Do not pay anyone to do this; it is not possible for anyone to do so.

Is there a way to remove the negative information from your credit report if you have had volunteer repossession and paid off the remainder?

Best way to do that is to negotiate the removal as part of the payoff with the lender. Otherwise, not likely because it is part of your credit history.


If cosigner pays off a defaulted loan is there a way to have a repossession removed from cosigners credit?

The LENDER put the repo on there so they will be the one to take it off. NEGOTIATE.


After voluntary repossession what is your credit obligation?

Keri, I suggest you think long and hard before you let it go back. The results are not nice at all on your credit rating. Read your contract where it mentions "deficency balance". Chances are that you will be responsible for any amount owed after the car is sold. If the payments are toooo high, ask the lender if they will lower the interst rate. If you have lost income but expect to regain it, ask the lender to defer a payment to the end of the loan. If you cant do anything else, try to sell the car yourself. You will get more for it than the lender will at auction. I totally agree with the above answer. Repossession should be the absolute last resort. A repossession is a repossession. The only difference in voluntary and non voluntary is that you will not have to pay the repossession fees. This will stay on your credit report for 7 years and will cost you dearly. Sit down with the creditor and work this out. Like the above answer sell the car yourself or see if you can get someone to take over the payments. Do not allow the car to be repossessed. This may seem like the easy way out, but in the end it is the hard way out.


How long does a repossession remain on a credit report?

7 years if there is no "new action" on the particular account. "New action" means if you were to start paying on it or if the financier were to get a Court judgment on the loan. By the way.......A voluntary repossession (turning in the car before it go to collections) is the SAME as a regular repo. It will be listed on your credit in the same manner unless tou have negotiated a new termination clause wiyh the lender.


What are the consequences of defaulting on a personal loan in Texas?

Defaulting on a personal loan can effect your credit in a negative way. The lower your credit rating, the harder it is to get a loan in the future. Loan default is a civil matter, not criminal, so there is no need to worry about any jail time being served because of it. If you take out a personal loan to purchase a car and then default on the payments, the bank can take the car from you. Which will then leave a repossession on your credit report.

In Georgia should you do a voluntary repossession or just repossession?

The second to last sentence should read - Never will a voluntary repossession cost you MORE than a forced repossession. A repo is a repo. Voluntary Repos will, in most cases, save you money due to the cut in fees associated with the repossession. In some cases these fees will not be any less and the cost of a voluntary repo and the cost of a forced repo are the same. Never will a voluntary repossession cost you less than a forced repossession. Either way, voluntary repossession is the decision I would make, due to the possibility of a lesser cost.

Can you negotiate with a lender to remove a repossession on a credit report through a settlement of paying less than owed or will the credit report show settlement of partial payment of debt?

The way it is reported is the decision of the credit reporting bureau. It might be listed in different ways on individual reports. Generally it will remain on the report as a " settlement",not as a "satisfied in full."


How long will the deficiency amount owed after a repossession settlement on a motorcycle show up on your credit report and is there any way to get rid of it?

get an attorney to contact them with nasty letters I contacted an attorney and was told that there is nothing we can do. The company is reporting this settlement as a charge off, which is apparently the worst thing to have on your credit report. This is really ruining our lifes. We were even denied car insurance because of it. Any ideas to how to go about dealing with this or what our rights are would be a great help.
