Best Answer

If they repossessed it as part of the bankruptcy (and you didn't get it back), probably yes. However, the bankruptcy itself is a bigger black mark than the repo, especially since it can stay on your credit report longer (up to 10 years after filing, though some bureaus remove Chapter 13 after 7 years; repos only stay for 7 years).

What is an auto loan charge off?

When a customer is unable to pay of the auto loan the lender will repo the car, sell it, and charge off the remaining amount due to the customer. The exact amount charged off may vary depending on the lender. In the case of a repossession, unless it is a Bankruptcy, the remaining balance is DUE BY THE CUSTOMER. It is important to note, in the case of a bankruptcy, any money that is discharged through the bankruptcy can, at anytime, actually be paid back to the creditor and that negative report will be taken off of your credit report. If someone finally gets into the position that they can actually pay a debt off, it is better to do so.

What do you do if your car got repossessed when it wasnt supposed to?

If it truly was a wrongful repossession, call local law enforcement and report the vehicle stolen. If they notify you that it was repossessed, inform them that it was a wrongful repossession. Next, contact the lender and demand politlely that they notify the repossession agency that the vehicle was wrongfully repossessed. You might even, still politely, suggest some sort of compensation for you inconvience. Also ask for the contact number of the repossession agency. Call them and notify them also of the wrongful repossession. Suggest also to them some sort of compensation for your incovenience.

Will a voluntary auto repossession still show on your credit reports after Chapter 7 is discharged?

Most likely. They are two separate issues.AnswerYes. It will show that you no longer owe the debt, as well. AnswerIt MAY show up, however, if the debt for the vehicle was discharged in bankruptcy, it cannot be reported. There can be no negative reporting on a discharged debt - not even for a voluntary repo. If the vehicle was surrendered as part of the bankruptcy, the loan should show as a ZERO balance, no past dues, and 'included in bankruptcy' on your credit report.
