Hello again, all.
I had purchased a vehicle last October, and took it back to them 45 days later (huge income decrease). The currently reported details are below.
Although I am more than happy that this account doesnt report a "repossession" status (yet), I would assume it will happen eventually.
My question is this: Should I write them and ask them to "update the status", or should I just leave it alone? I wouldnt ask the question at all if it werent for the fact that it is reporting 10k debt that I no longer have. In addition, if it will eventually be reported as a repossession, I would assume I would be better off having the Date of Last Activity being NOW, so that I can start putting some time on the DoLA. Again, all assumptions, Ill await the pros' responses.
Thank you!

Yup, it will report as a voluntary repo or something like that before long.
You still have the debt and will until it is paid. You just don't have the car.
Thats true. Maybe they are waiting for the (re)sale of the vehicle, in order to determine the offset amount.
That could be. But, depending on your state laws, they should be required to let you know of the sale or how much it sold for. They have to let you know how much you still owe.
How long ago was the car turned in?
Early October 2012
Seems like it should have been sold by now. Can you contact the OC or are you that concerned.
Once the Repo hits your report it will cause a big drop in score.
I'll throw in there that the DOLA really doesn't matter. That can update at any time. I wouldn't worry about that.
