IT IS NOT ILEGAL FOR ANYONE TO HAVE A DEBT SHOW UP TWICE ON THEIR credit report. THE BEST THING TO DO IS CALL THE CREDITOR OR COLLECTION AGENCY THAT THIS DEBT IS UNDER AND HAVE THEM REMOVE THE EXTRA INFORMATION OFF OF YOUR CREDIT REPORT. ASK THEM TO REPORT IT TO THE BUREAUS IN ORDER FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED.

What are the consequences of a voluntary repossession of a mobile home?

Under US law as I understand it, any repossession is detrimental to your credit record. Both a voluntary repossession or a standard repossession have the same effect on your credit rating. Both will appear as repossessions, and either will result in a negative mark on your credit history. Any repossession will appear on a credit report for 7.5 years from the date of first delinquency. You will likely see your credit score drop significantly, as having a repossession in your credit history marks you as a credit risk. The only advantage that I see in doing a 'voluntary' repossession is that it may cost you less in legal fees. In general, I would encourage you to work with the lender to find ways of keeping your home and coming to some kind of agreement on reduced monthly payments, or even weekly payments which will involve a lower interest rate. Good luck with it.

Does a tax lien reflect negatively on your credit report?

A tax lien is considered a significant derogatory item on a consumer's credit report. Being a legal action, it is reported in the "public records" portion of your credit report. Consumers with any public records showing, even when paid and with their proper dispositions showing, get larger deductions to their credit scores for any other actions. All legal items need to have their disposition. For tax liens, the disposition is called a release of lien. This needs to be obtained by the consumer, recorded (preferably at the same courthouse) and forwarded to the credit bureaus. Unpaid tax liens have no limitations for how long they can appear on a credit report. Paid tax liens will show for 7 years from the date of payment. That paid date would be established by the release.
