It is up to the LENDER to report a repo. Usually they DO report it and it stays on your CR for 7 years.

What happens when debtor files bankruptcy Chapter 7 and lists the car as a voluntary repo but it is not picked up after a year?

It belongs to the lender and YOU get to store until they come pick it up. yes...but dont forget to let them know you will be charging them a $60 a day storage fee, just like you would get charged.

If your credit report shows a repossession with zero balance but 350 dollars is several years past due should you contact the creditor now?

i would be ready to NEGOTIATE the CR part before I called. For such a small amount due, it would be reasonable for Chry to make some kind of adjustment on whats reported to the CRAs.maybe an attorney could negotiate better than you?? good Luck

Can you ever get another car loan once your car is repossessed?

Sure, you can. The entire sub-prime lending market is waiting for you. Max legal interest rate, higher DP, its all about you. The OCC bulletin 2001-6 says:

"The term "subprime" refers to the credit characteristics of individual borrowers. Subprime borrowers typically have weakened credit histories that include payment delinquencies, and possibly more severe problems such as charge-offs, judgments, and bankruptcies. They may also display reduced repayment capacity as measured by credit scores, debt-to-income ratios, or other criteria that may encompass borrowers with incomplete credit histories. Subprime loans are loans to borrowers displaying one or more of these characteristics at the time of origination or purchase. Such loans have a higher risk of default than loans to prime borrowers.

If you volunteer a repossession do you have to pay off your car loan?

YES, you have to pay off the loan. You have agreed to pay the lender X number of dollars for X number of months in return for letting you use X number of dollars to buy a car. Once the car is sold, the sale price is deducted from the balance due and you still owe that amount.

Can a repo agent enter a garage with the assistance of the property management office to recover a vehicle that is alledgedly subject to repossession action?

Unless the repoman is dumb as a duck, he WONT try to repo a car that is not authorized by the leinholder. IF management lets him in the garage, then he can go get it.Sometimes management will go ahead and let us in to get us out of the way.

If the managment opens the doors yes the repo people can remove the vehichle The repo person can not open the door. the repo person has been told to recover the vehichle per the lien holder or they would not be there. I find that most lien holders would rather work something out to get account up to date then repo the car. The lien holder makes more money if they can get payment before repo.What I do not understand is why people hide the car , what good is the car if you can't drive it without looking over your shoulder wondering when they repo agent will show up and take the car so what good is a car you cant take out of the garage or drive?

What do you do if a lienholder has put a repossession on your credit report without retrieving the car with the damage already done to your credit?

First question is, was there a repo? Was the car NOT worth repoing? The lender doesnt have to retrieve the car on any certain day. You still have the option of paying off the loan.

If you have GAP insurance will the leftover balance be paid off when your car is repossessed?

Is it true that when you are behind in car payments and they have not been able to find the car to repo it the lender can file charges for theft?

It is true but not likely. The normal is to file a writ of REPLEVIN. The court has the sheriff come to get the car or YOU if you cant/wont produce the car. Just give it up and avoid all the extra charges ect.

How can you remove a voluntary repossession from your credit and should you consider bankruptcy to fix your credit?
