Repossessions, or, why losing your car is just the start of your troubles

Property repossession, like having your car repossessed, can be a huge blow to your credit rating. In most states, repossessions generally stay on your credit report for seven years from the day the loan becomes delinquent. Put simply, if your first missed payment was in December 2010, the notice of the repossession remains on your credit report until January 2018.

When it comes to credit repair in repossession situations, it’s not always simple. Other factors, such as a judgment against you in court, can delay the start date for the seven years. And even still, years later, under certain circumstances, the repossession will always show up on your credit report.

Once you clear the seven year anniversary date, you’ll need to check your credit report to see if the delinquency still appears. If it does, you will need to contact the “Big Three” credit agencies to file an appeal, which should be filed through registered letter. And, you may be required to provide support documentation to prove your claim. Restoring your financial good name can turn into a full-time job!
