Your SOL has nothing to do with what your CR says or doesn't say. Since you paid off the debt, SOL doesn't apply. SOL only applies to whether or not you can be sued.
The CRTP for the debt is about 7 years no matter where you live. You can send a GW letter to the creditor. They might just remove the negative reference off your report. I had a repo issue too and I first disputed it with the CRAs. There was no balance due but the CRAs showed otherwise. Sure enough, 2 of the 3 deleted the repo reference. I haven't had any luck yet with the GWs, but it doesn't hurt to try. There are great GW examples in this forum.
