A repossession typically stays on your credit report for up to seven years, so a big part of restoring your credit afterward is just waiting. But you can also be proactive in restoring your credit by paying your bills on time and working on paying off other debt.
To attempt to remove repossession from your credit report, you need to initiate a credit dispute and prove to the credit bureaus that the repossession is fraudulent, outdated or otherwise inaccurate.
If the repossession is inaccurate, false, or unreportable (because the date falls outside the reporting period), you can dispute and remove it. The credit report attorneys at Consumer Attorneys can help you dispute any and all inaccurate items on your credit report - including a false, old, or inaccurate repossession.
