IF you know which lender to report them to, you can. Doing so is really a GOOD idea because we ALL have to pay so the deadbeats can try to ride for free. Reporting them SAVES them(the debtor) money in the long run cause the lender doesnt have to pay to find them. Some people just dont know when to say" I CANT make these notes". Its a combo of pride and desperation???

How will voluntary repossession of my home in Texas affect my credit?
The effect on your credit will depend on how the lender chooses to report it to the credit bureau. Sometimes a lender will be willing to report it 'paid as agreed' or 'settled' entry on the credit report rather than an actual repossession. If it is reported as an actual repossession or foreclosure it will be on your credit for seven years and negatively effect your rating.
What if the lender can not find any information on repossession that is on your credit report?
It might not have been turned in. If not, consider yourself fortunate.
Can a lender report a vechicle stolen while trying to repossess in the state of Florida?
In the event that the possessor of the vehicle is not a contracted party, or if the contracted party is actively seeking to hinder repossession, then yes, the lender can report the vehicle stolen.
What are the repercussions of an automobile repossession?
First off you will be required to pay the repossession fees unless you voluntarily turned the car in. Secondly you will be required to pay the deficiency. The deficiency is the difference in the amount the lender sells the car for and the amount you owe. Let's say you owe $10,000 and they sell the car for $8,000. That leaves you owing the lender $2,000. Thirdly this repossession will be placed on your credit report and will stay there for 7 years. Repossession should be the last resort after you have talked to the lender and done all you can to avoid this. Sell the car to another individual even if you have to sell it for less than it is worth, then pay the lender the deficiency out of your pocket to avoid repossession. Have someone take over the payments. Whatever it takes to avoid this.

What does a car repossession do to your credit How can you delete it from your record?
It hurts you credit tremondously. It will stay on your credit report for 7 years, and there is nothing you can do about it. Do not allow your car to be repossed. Voluntary repossession on not any better. Contact the lender and work something out.

Is a repossession marked on your credit report when the car is repossessed or when the loan is paid off?
Think about it. IF the lender waited until the loan was paid off,zillions of repos would NEVER be reported. Sooo, they report them as they happen.
Will it still affect your credit report if you pay the full costs ten days after repossession?
As a rule, YES. It is up to the lender to post a repo on your CR and most do it automatically.
If you file bankruptcy will it also erase a vehicle repossession on another person's credit report?
It doesn't erase anything on your own credit report....just adds to it, why would it change someone elses? It adds that you are a bankrupt as well as having missed payments and had a repossession. A credit report simply reports what happened in the past....what ever you do now does not change it...you live with the history you created.
Does the repossession company have to report the repossession to the police after the repossession?
I only know about the state of Massachusetts. And yes in our state they have one hour to report the repossession to the police department in the town of which the car was taken.
