How will voluntary repossession of a vehicle affect a persons credit score?
Same as a regular repo. The creditor may still put the repossession on your credit report and it would stay there for up to seven years. Notice the word "may", because it is at the creditor's discretion...
How does a vehicle repossession affect your credit if everything else in your credit report is good?
Absolutely. Repossession, whether voluntary or involuntary, show on your credit report as a charged off account. This designation is similar to a collection account and shows that you did not repay the vehicle loan. Such a listing in your credit report would have a significant negative impact.
How would repossession affect your credit if im co buyer?
It will fester like a throbbing red boil for 7 years. And you can be sued for the balance due as well.
Would a vehicle repossession still be on your credit report after 15 years?
Your credit report contains the entire HISTORY of your credit life. The repo will appear on your record but if you've had good credit dealings over the past 15 years it may well only affect your current credit worthiness marginally.
Can you get a personal loan after a car repossession?
You might be able to get a personal loan after a car repossession. However, you would get the loan at a very high interest rate one the repossession is on your credit report.
If you bought a new car and have only had if for 2 weeks with no payments made can you return it to the dealer will it affect your credit score?
You signed a contract and drove it. It is not new anymore. Returning it would be a voluntary repossession and you would probably owe several thousand dollars. Yes, it would hurt your credit.
What are the consequences of a voluntary repossession of a mobile home?
Under US law as I understand it, any repossession is detrimental to your credit record. Both a voluntary repossession or a standard repossession have the same effect on your credit rating. Both will appear as repossessions, and either will result in a negative mark on your credit history. Any repossession will appear on a credit report for 7.5 years from the date of first delinquency. You will likely see your credit score drop significantly, as having a repossession in your credit history marks you as a credit risk. The only advantage that I see in doing a 'voluntary' repossession is that it may cost you less in legal fees. In general, I would encourage you to work with the lender to find ways of keeping your home and coming to some kind of agreement on reduced monthly payments, or even weekly payments which will involve a lower interest rate. Good luck with it.
If your car is repossessed how does getting it back help your credit?
It won't help much unless you can sweet-talk the lender and convince him to remove the repossession from the credit report. Otherwise, the repossession stays on the record and the only 'improvement' to your credit rating would be the lack of an accompanying past due status.
Can a vehicle repossession affect your credit bad enough to prevent you from being able to purchase a new home?
For any personal credit related concerns I recomment a website that I know has many very good answers to even the toughest questions. It is an 'ask' site directly on Experian's website which is hosted by Maxine Sweet, the V.P. of Public Affairs for Experian. You can get to the site from the following link: http://www.experian.com/ask_max/index.html Repossession is a serious derogotary item on a consumer's credit report. Your credit score, credit rating or credit standing would be determined based on ALL of the information in your credit file, both positive and negative. Such a determination would reveal if you would be able to qualify for a mortgage loan.
If your brother authorizes you on a credit card would your poor credit score affect him?
no
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.
If you have bad credit will it affect the credit score of your spouse?
Your credit standing alone won't affect your spouse's credit. The only way your spouse's credit would be affected along with yours is if you jointly hold accounts and then fail to pay them.
