Can a 10 year old car repo still efFect your credit?
Generally, no, because repossession is meant to come off your credit record after seven years. Unfortunately, not all credit reporting agencies act on their own - rather, they await information from credit providers and most firms the repossess assets don't report (1) when the asset was repossessed and (2) when the seven years are up. So, if one's vehicle is repossessed they should begin checking their credit report around year six in order to be knowledgeable about where they stand. If the repo has not been removed from their record after the seventh year, they need to request that the credit reporting organizations remove the repo. In most circumstances, the fact that seven years have passed make it easy for the credit reporting organizations to remove the negative transaction line.
