Hi James,

If a company would want to repossess the vehicle why would it "charge-off" the account? Anyways, I think the first thing you need to do is, send a debt validation letter to the new collection agency claiming to owe the debt. You must send it via certified mail so that you get the return receipt. As far as taking a legal step against the previous creditor is concerned, you can file a complaint with the State Attorney General. They have broken the FDCPA and hence can be sued.


To Mister E,

Any negative item stays in your credit report for 7 years before it gets dropped off. But I would like to know one thing. If the court had told you that you did not owe anything to them, why didn’t you let the credit bureau know about that? I think you should have disputed the item long back by sending a
dispute letter to the CRA asking them to remove it, along with the documents from the court stating that you did not owe anything to the finance company. Anyways, I think you should dispute now if the item continues to be in your credit report.

Subject: filing chapter 13 bankruptcy to get back repoed car

Whoever has advised you regarding filing a chapter 13 bankruptcy, has told you the right thing. Chapter 13 bankruptcy states that the court gives you time between 3-5 years depending on your income to to pay off your debt through prepare a repayment plan . When you file a chapter 13 bankruptcy, mention all your debts along with the car debt. Remember to inform your car creditor about that. Now that you have the car included in your repayment plan, they have to give it back to you.

Filing bankruptcy should do the trick for you.

I would be calling as soon as possible to get the vehicle back, as mentioned above you have the repayment plan in place so the car should be in your possession.

Hi,
I filed bankruptcy in 2001 and my vehicle loan was shown as a charge off on my credit report all though I had only put 2 past due payments in the bankruptcy. The charge off no longer shows on my credit report and I was wondering if I would ever be able to get the title.

My car was just charged off in august and I was not notified. i only found out in september. i have continued to make payments on time and i ahve not treceived any phone calls or letters. according to the finance company they said they charged the debt off 3 days prior to reciept of a partial payment that was owed via quick collect and 18 day before the full payment to bring the account current was made. They did not send registered mail nor regular mail to infrom me. last i spoke to the lender i was told to continue to try to catch up and they could not promise me that there would not be an attempt to reposess. When i called to provide them with the mtn# of the final catch up payment, i was informed that the debt was charged off.
like i said they accepted the money and i have no problem continuing to pay. what can i do?
In my case, my job requires that i maintain my credit and right now if i can not recind this charge off order, i am endager of losing my job. please advise. Thanks

Do you still have the car? Did they come and reposses it? Seems odd that they would charge it off, accept your payments and still let you keep the vehicle.

I would say to file a dispute on the charge off, call them back and tell them that you plan to get the attorney generals office involved because they have accepted payment but have still went through with a charge off. Maybe then they will be more cooperative.

I believe that they will probably sell the debt to another collector so they can get some of their money back, the collector will then come after you for the debt.

Usually in a charge off situation that is what happens.

Hi Decarlos,

I don't think it should be a problem to drive it. Anyways are you aware of the SOL in your state? It is the time period that the creditors have to sue a debtor. If the SOL passes then they cannot sue you anymore. If it does not then you can try to settle the debt with the collection agency and ask them to remove the negative listing by sending a pay for delete letter.

you probaly could drive it but if you want to keep the vehicle with outh the worries of having it taken from you I would try to get the debt settled. Ican not imagine why the original lender never tried to repo and get some of their money but this is probaly to your advantage since you can still run it. Do you know what you owed on it when you stopped making payments? Try pulling your credit record and see what the listing has on it for amount owed. You should be able to settle it for up to half of what is listed.

A finance company can continue to try to repo their vehicle for as long as you have not paid. They can try to repo it if it has been charged off.

The finance company does not have to notify you of the charge off. In some states they do not have to send you a notice of intent to repo before trying to repo the vehicle.
