GM Financial Credit Reporting

[Lionessk]

Hello!

Back in 2019, I did a voluntary repossession with GM Financial. The company has not reported it to the credit bureaus. In fact, it shows open with a $0 balance on two reports and the other reports shows the actual monthly payment. So, it has not negatively impacted my credit yet. I have since then purchased another car.

I am now trying to purchase another car and due to my credit report showing another open car loan, the offers I am getting are not favorable. I want to put GM financial behind me and willing to pay what I owe, but I am afraid to see the hit once they start reporting. Has anyone been in this situation before? What would you do?

Does anyone have the email to the CEO of GM financial? Maybe I can ask for a PFD.

To clarify, your old auto account isn't reporting as derogatory on any of your credit reports?    You're having an issue with approval because the old auto account monthly payment is being counted in your DTI ?

That is correct

Which creditors are you looking at approvals with, and are they pulling all three of your reports?

If GM Financial updates your account now and it reports negatively it will tank your scores and probably put your pending approval at risk.

@Lionessk I certainly wouldn't contact GM Financial as they will update your credit reports to reflect the repo and your scores may drop and suffer. I currently have an auto loan with GM Financial and I'm certain they wouldn't do a PFD but would report the balance owed at $0.00 which may make a small difference for you. Wishing you a favorable resolution!!!

So far Capital One Auto and Carmax and I believe they are checking all 3.
