			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style='font-style:italic;' class='creditbyline'>by Justin Hutto</div>
<p>A repossession on your credit report is a very severe mark. It will cause you to pay outrageous interest rates and big down payments.</p>
<p>This mark will make it difficult to be approved for any new lines of credit. Additionally, it will remain on your report for seven years. </p>
<p>Let us explain how the repossession procedure works. It is possible for you to remove this mark from your credit report.</p>
<p>First, when your car is repossessed it can be resold. You will be responsible for repaying any loss the lender takes. If you are found responsible, you will be sued and a deficiency judgment will be placed against you.</p>
<p>The lender will report the repossession on your credit and if you have a deficiency judgment it also will be reported. Having either one of these marks on your credit will make it next to impossible to get approval for future lines of credit.</p>
<p>To remove a repossession, wait to see if you are sued for any damages or loss by the lender. We also suggest you wait until the car is re-sold.</p>
<p>Then send a dispute letter to the bureaus to dispute the repossession on your report.</p>
<p>You can write this letter or hire a service to do it on your behalf. This letter must provide an explanation as to why the mark is inaccurate. </p>
<p>Once the bureaus receive it they will conduct an investigation into the listing. They will contact the lender and ask them to verify that the account is; yours, the reported dates, and the balance.</p>
<p>The lender is much less likely to spend the time or money verifying the item with the bureaus if some form of payment has been received for the debt. Therefore, we suggest waiting until payment has been made. If an item is not confirmed it must be removed from your credit report.</p>
<p>Rumors are that the bureaus do not check public records when investigating a mark. That is where the bureau would find confirmation of a deficiency judgment. If you have a deficiency judgment you should dispute this mark, too.</p>
<p>In summary, you do not have to feel embarrassed or pay high interest rates every time your credit is run. Repossessions are removed from credit reports every day.</p>

<p>Disputing negative marks on your credit report is the most effective method of improving a low credit score. A better payment history accounts for up to 35% of your score. Disputing negative marks helps because it will show a better payment history.</p>
<p>To dispute a mark you need to contact the bureaus and send a dispute letter. A letter must be sent to each credit bureau. Often upon receipt of your letter the bureau will respond with a letter requesting more information about the item.</p>
<p>This is a stall tactic the bureaus use. They have found it more cost effective to delay instead of actually investigating the dispute. It is common for people to give up at this point and continue to pay outrageous interest rates.</p>
<p>In time, the bureaus will investigate the mark only if another dispute letter is sent with the requested information. While investigating, the bureau will contact the lender to verify the disputed mark.</p>
<p>If the mark can not be verified by the lender, it must be removed from your credit report by the bureau. For the best results, we suggest you wait until the lender has received a payment for the outstanding debt. Lenders normally do not want to spend money and time validating a noncollectable debt.</p>
<p>For example, since a lender has no more use for a charged off credit card account that is sold to a collection agency, the lender will not take the time to confirm the account when contacted by the bureau.</p>
<p>It is much easier to remove a charge off once it has been sold rather than outstanding. You can dispute your credit yourself by creating a dispute letter or you can hire a service to dispute it on your behalf. </p>
<p>The benefit of a service is that it provides you with more options to remove a mark if it is confirmed. Services can ask for creditor direct interventions, debt confirmation, escalate dispute information requests, and in severe cases, an attorney can go to court and fight on your behalf.</p>
<p>You credit score is a very important number. It impacts your; finances, residence, place of employment and many more. It is estimated that 25% of Americans have an error on their report and that is costing them money in higher interest rates.</p>
<p>In sum you can dispute your credit yourself through a dispute letter or by hiring a service to do it on your behalf. You can remove negative items from your report and stop paying the high cost of bad credit.</p>

Though you can sometimes get financing even if your credit is less than perfect, you&#8217;ll find that a better credit score will equal lower interest rates; and more money in your pocket. Credit restoration is something which you must do in order to get more favorable terms for financing these kinds of large purchases such as a home or a vehicle.</p>
<p>The first step to credit restoration is to catch up with any late payments you may have.; Regardless of how your credit record has been in the past, your most recent credit history is what creditors will look at the most closely. Getting behind on payments can really hurt your credit score.</p>
<p>Catching up on your payments is the first step to credit restoration. Consider selling things you don&#8217;t use, taking a second job or using your tax return to do this &#8211; whatever it takes to become current with your payments again will go a long way towards the credit repair you need.</p>
<p>Getting current with payments is a good way to start credit restoration; you&#8217;ll also want to be sure to request copies of your credit report from all three of the major credit reporting bureaus. Take a close look over your credit report to make sure that everything listed there is accurate. If you see any discrepancies on your credit report, be sure to write to the credit bureau immediately to inform them of this. The credit reporting bureau must look into the discrepancies you have reported within 30 days of receiving your letter.</p>
<p>If you see any debts you had forgotten about on your credit reports, be sure to pay them off.</p>
<p>Try to think about your credit report in the way that a creditor might view things. Are your credit limits maxed out? If they are, then start making the largest payments you can afford on these debts in order to pay them down as quickly as possible. Creditors prefer to see large lines of credit which are going unused to maxed out accounts. Paying off these balances can be a big part of your credit restoration plan.</p>
<p>Once you have paid off credit cards and other accounts, be sure to keep them open. A lot of people choose to close these accounts after paying them off &#8211; but an open account with a zero balance is much better for your credit score.</p>
<p>Credit repair is a process and it won&#8217;t be done overnight. It can take some time &#8211; more than a year in some cases. If you are dedicated to the goal of credit restoration, you&#8217;ll see your credit score improve over time and you&#8217;ll feel much better for it. Start today and get on the path to financial freedom.</p>
