Okay I am having alot of issues with the below Auto Loan account. I have had this account since 2006. I was paying this account fine until I was laid off from work in March of 2007. I was 30 days late in May of 2007, and from then on I didnt pay the note. The car was eventually charged off in September of 2007, but the car was not reposessed until January of 2009. I called numerous times regarding the loan and I was once told the account was sent to their in-house collection agency and it had been sold, and then another time I was told it was actually assigned to the in-house collection agency. Which is even more confusing because how can you sell or assign something to your in-house collections dept. It was never marked on my credit bureas as reposessed. I never recieved a letter of defiency for the remaining balance after the car was auctioned. So I'm not actually even sure what it is that I owe on the car. I recently disputed the account for the balances being incorrect because the original amount of the loan was the amount they claimed was charged off. Well when they updated they updated it as a paid charge off and took the balance down to $0. Whats most confusing is I havent paid them one red cent, but they show the date of last payment as July of 2009. I really dont know how to handle this and I have no clue on whether to let sleeping dogs lie, and just take it as a blessing that it has been updated to paid chargeoff instead of a repo, or if I should send them a request for validation considering that they are blatantly lying about recieving any type of payment from me. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but your loosing some points for a Charge off, but the fact that it reports $0, makes it look like you paid it off after the fact in full. Also the fact it does not show repo is really helping you to, other than getting the whole thing deleted from your reports, the way it is right now is costing you the least point loss and if you get your scores up (depending what they are now) you would be able to get a new car loan a lot easier then if you had a balance unpaid or repo.I might leave this alone
Yeah thats what I thought also, I'm just very confused about everything, and I always felt that this company was really shady because I would never get the same answer twice. If you think it's a good idea to leave it alone, then I think I will do just that.
anyone else care to shed some light on this?
Okay so I just recieved some new info regarding this. The loan company is still verifying this account as charged off with a balance on my Transunion reports so I will have to dispute with them also. The funny thing is they have now changed the company name as the original creditor, but they are also reporting under a different company name but same address under collections. So there are two different listings on my TU report regarding this account. One from the OC, and another from the collections but same addresses....can they do this?
I hate to be a bother, but I am really trying to figure this all out. Thanks again for your time

I think you should DV it with the creditor listed rather than dispute with the CRAs. It sounds like your account has been sold and passed around and they won't be able to validate it so it would have to be removed.

Well it might not specifically mention that the car was repossessed but still show that you did not take care of you financial responsibility. Charge off is a term that lenders are well aware off and will interpret that you did not hold your end of bargain. its not a good thing to have on your credit which ever way you look at it. I once had a similar situation back in 2003.

Sorry about that. I didn't know we aren't allowed to post links. It was just to an informative article about DV'ing (Debt Validation). You can just Google DV Letter Sample or something like that to find info on DV'ing.

Many links are just fine and are a good way to pass along information but some violate the myFICO Terms of Service. You might go there and see what is allowed and what is discouraged.
