Repossession On Credit Report

A repossession on your credit report is a very severe mark. It will cause you to pay outrageous interest rates and big down payments.

It will remain on your report for seven years. Additionally it will make it difficult to be approved for any new lines of credit.

However you can remove this mark from your credit report. First let us explain how the repossession procedure works.

When your car is taken and then re sold if the lender takes a loss you will be responsible for repaying that. You will be sued and if you are found responsible a deficiency judgment will be placed against you.

The repossession will be reported on your credit by the lender as well as the deficiency judgment if you have one. If you have either one of these marks on your credit, future lines of credit will be next to impossible to get.

To remove a repossession; we suggest you wait until the car is re-sold. Additionally wait to see if you are sued for any damages or loss by the lender.

Then send a dispute letter to the bureaus to dispute the repossession on your report.

You can hire a service to do it on your behalf or write the letter yourself. This letter must present a reason as to why the mark is incorrect.

Once the bureaus receive it they will conduct an investigation into the listing. They will contact the lender and ask them to verify that the account is; yours, the reported dates, and the balance.

We advise waiting until the lender receives some type of payment. If some form of payment has been received, the lender is much less likely to spend the time or money verifying the item with the bureaus. In addition, an item must be removed from your credit report that is not verified.

Rumors are that the bureaus do not check public records when investigating a mark. That is where the bureau would find confirmation of a deficiency judgment. If you have a deficiency judgment you should dispute this mark, too.

In summary, you do not have to feel embarrassed or pay high interest rates every time your credit is run. Repossessions are removed from credit reports every day.
