I don't know what you mean by "caused" it, but if you signed the loan papers or signed as a co-signer, you most likely can not get it off. If it was not your debt and you didn't sign anything, you can write a letter to the credit bureau and tell them that you are disputing it and you want it taken off your credit report. If within 30(I think) days , the lender has no objections and does not respond to the credit bureau, they take it off.

What happens to your credit with a voluntary repossession?

A voluntary reposession reports on your credit report as a loss. The car company with take the car back and credit a portion of the balance which the owner/leaser still needs to pay on. The creditor will place the "voluntary Reposession" on credit bureau. All in all it will be reported as a charge off debt. If the original owner/leaser doesnt pay the remainder he/she can/will be collected from and could face legal action. A repo is a repo voluntary or not. Ruins your credit for 7 years. What generally happens is that it will be reported on your credit as a repossession. When you go for financing on something else, the repo will pop up and the potential lender will call the lender who reported the repo. When they find out it was a voluntary, it may actually lessen some of the blow of having a repo. But, yes, a repo is a repo.


How do you remove repo from credit if it belonged to someone else?

If the lender has no legal claim against you, that is if you were not a guarantor on a loan (maker or comaker), then the listing on your credit report is in error. You must request its removal in writing to the lender who has listed it and to the credit reporting agency who has it listed. They will have thirty days to either substantiate the debt and its listing, or have it removed.
