5 year old debt still reporting late?

[Anonymous]

I have a repo from a Credit Union. When the car was repo'd and sold the balance was $5800. It reported on my CR as a charge off. They never sold the debt to a CA. Fast forward 5 years later to date they are now reporting me late every month and are stating the balance is 9500? The entire TL is due to fall of in 2019. I've came a good ways with repairing my credit and this and another from Portfolio Recovery just refuse to budge. Any advice on what I can do to combat the repo?
Are they still able to report me late like this even though the account is charged off?

When was the first missed payment (DOFD) leading to the repo?  If the repo was 5 years ago (2011) it should fall off 2018?  There's something else going on.

Have you paid any of the balance?  They tack on all kinds of fees for reposessing the car, cleaning, auctioning, etc.  It never works in your favor.  Odds are that's where the difference is, reporting as 9,500.  Did they send you something at that time saying 5,800 or was that just the balance you bailed on?

Individual lates should fall off after 7 years, are you seeing any late payments reporting before 9/2009?  Dispute those with whatever credit agency.

Assuming everything is reporting correctly, you can try this: 

  1. If you've not paid on it and have anything to offer, send a PFD request to the CU, where you settle on an amount in exchange for removal of the negative information.

  2. If you have, try a GW campaign where you fall on their mercy to remove the bad marks.  This is only likely to work if they've gotten all the money they want and you've otherwise proven yourself.

Are they reporting the current status as late, or are they adding additional, increased levels of monthly delinquency?

If the account is still unpaid, then it remains delinquent.

It is not inaccurate to continue monthly reporting that shows the account remains delinquent.

Reporting of a CO only makes of record the fact that they took that accounting measure, and does not terminate the continued account delinquency on the remaining unpaid debt.

Yes it has increased monthly beginning in January of this year. Where before I attempted to file a dispute there was no activity.

Have you paid anything since the repo?  Make arrangements to pay and default again?  There should be no reason for the balance to continue to increase this late after the event, I'd be very suspect... does the CU still own the debt or is it a collector?

Not understanding your second sentence, you say you disputed before but nothing happened?

I've never paid on the debt since it defualted. Or since the repo'ed the vehicle. Yes it is with the credit union and not a CA.

It also is not under collections but revolving accounts. Every month I get notification off a deliquent account and the balance inches up. Is this reporting correctly?

Yes, they can continue to report monthly delinquencies as the length of the delinquency increases.

Yes, if the account can continue to accrue interest.

If the repo was legit, the way to "combat" its reporting is to make a pay for deletion offer.

The creditor could either sell or refer to a debt collector, resulting in the addition of a new collection.

Additionally, if still within SOL, they could bring civil action to obtain a judgment and pursue garnishment of pay.

Things could get worse.
