By Nancy H Thomas

Loads of people have had the hard luck of getting a car or vehicle repossessed. The current economic downturn has just exacerbated troubles like this and many individuals have repossessions and other bad credit showing on their credit report.

The truth of the topic is that if the repossession or other bad credit is truthful and accurate it is not supposed to be able to be removed from your credit report. However, you may be able to at least improve the status of the repossession by contacting the initial lender and seeing what you can negotiate. You may also be able to at least give an clarification. If the listing is imprecise in any way you may also be able to get it deleted entirely but you will need to be persistent.

Your credit history, whether it is positive or derogatory, is supposed to remain on your credit report for a period of 7 years. If bad listings are showing on your credit, they will have an effect on your credit score and rating, but it does get better as more time passes. The more time that has passed since the problem the better off you are.

If the listings are erroneous or inaccurate in any way you may be able to get it deleted by disputing it. You will need to write a letter stating your case and why the listing is not correct. Make sure that you keep very careful records because after receipt of the dispute letter the credit bureaus have 30 to 45 days to substantiate the truth of the listing or if they can't, they must remove it from your credit report.

You can deal with the inaccuracies and untrue information on your credit report and try to fix your credit by yourself or you can also employ a specialist to aid you. It can frequently become a very time-consuming and difficult process so in the interest of time and energy it may be to your profit to get some expert assistance. However, it is in no way obligatory.

All kinds of poor listings, such as repossessions, tax liens, collection accounts, charge-offs and even bankruptcies and foreclosures have all been removed from credit reports. The benefit is if you try and accomplish something you are much better off but if you try and fail you are no worse off than you were before so you might as well give it a shot.

Most people will need a decent credit score at some point in their lives if they need to get a home mortgage or a car loan or credit card. Your financial circumstances will only benefit from doing credit repair. As you are fixing your credit, it is important to keep any new credit as perfect as possible so that when your past problems are fixed you don't have new difficulties.

If your job history and your income has stabilized after a difficult time, it can be tremendously advantageous to do credit repair. It may help you a lot and it certainly can't hurt.
