Repo Credit

One Sure Fire Way to Remove a Repossession from Your Credit Report and Increase Your Credit Score – It CAN Be Done!

As if getting your property repossessed isn’t bad enough, the repo can stay on your credit for up to seven years destroying your credit! It’s one of the worst items to have on your credit report.

When you sign an agreement with a creditor, it’s likely you agreed that the property may be repossessed if you make late payments. The amount of payments you can miss and the grace period a creditor will allow before repossessing the property depends on the terms of your contract. If you feel that the creditor has repossessed your property wrongfully, you can consult your contract and find the listed terms you agreed to.

More than likely, if you have missed a few payments, your property has been lawfully repossessed by the creditor due to the terms of your contract.

Trying to get the property back is enough of an uphill battle, but you will likely need to worry about your credit score as well. It’s very likely that the repo will negatively affect your credit, and can stay on your credit report for up to seven years! Do what I did and call 1-800-396-3816 for immediate assistance in removing the repo from your credit.

The Devastating Effects of Repossession on Your Credit:

All of your missed or late payments will show up on your credit report in addition to the repo.
A pattern of late payments is harmful to your credit score. It makes you look financially irresponsible to potential lenders.
One repossession alone on your credit can prevent a lender from extending any type of credit to you in the future. In other words, you won’t qualify for a car loan, home loan, or any other type of loan.
If you don’t pay the difference of what you still owe on the repossessed property, your credit will also be dinged with a charge-off. For example, if you owe $10,000 on your auto loan and it gets repossessed and sells for $7,000, you still owe $3,000 on that loan. You will end up getting a bill for the difference.

You must TAKE ACTION and work to remove the repossession on your credit report. It takes a long long time (7 years) for it to go away by itself and if you’re like me, you’ll probably be needing a car or home loan in the next 7 years. This is where Lexington Law comes in. When dealing with pushy creditors and credit bureaus, you’ll need professionals on your side that know the ins-and-outs of the credit system as well as secret loopholes.

Can You Remove a Repo From Your Credit?

It is possible to remove a repossession from your credit report! Before doing anything else, order a copy of your credit report so you can see exactly what you are dealing with. There are plenty of websites you can use to do this, such as freecreditreport.com. You’ll need a copy of your report to confirm that the repo is actually listed on your credit report. It’s very unlikely that the creditor will choose to leave it off, so you can expect to see it within a matter of time after the repo.

If you do see the repo on your credit, know that the creditor is legally required to be able to verify that the property was repossessed before it appears on your credit report. You can work with the bureaus and creditor in order to verify the repo. If your creditor doesn’t have the information to prove the property was repossessed, it can’t legally be listed on your credit report.

If the repo listed on your credit report is older, it may be more difficult for the creditor to verify. If you don’t want to wait, you may be able to work on a payment arrangement with the creditor, resulting in having the repo removed. But this is a long and arduous process and will take an immense amount of patience and follow-up on your end.
