So I have am considering getting a new or used car. On my credit reports I have the following
Experian - All positive tradelines. Good car loan currently being paid.
Equifax and Transunion have all the same items EXCEPT they have a 7 year old reposession that hasnt dropped off.
They are getting different information that sais it wont turn 7 years old until next year.
If I did a credit pull, and the lender pulled all three, would they use Experians score and overlook the reposession on the other ones for the sake of financing me?
If you go to the dealer, they will usually pull all 3 and go with the median score. If you apply yourself at a bank, they will usually only pull one report.
Thank you everyone for the input. Do you think they will overlook the fact there is a repo on two reports? and go with the best one to get me financed?

Depends on the lender and how old the repo is. I was approved with a 3 year old repo.
I had a similar problem last month. I had one clean report and two that had a collection. The collection was supposed to have been gone and is gone now. But I needed the car and couldn't wait so I just froze the other two CRA's. Some look down on it but when I'm paying interest on $28k I'm doing everything I can to get the lowest rate.
Thanks everyone for the replies!
The reposession is 7 years old this month.
As of today it has falled off of Transunion and Experian.
Equifax somehow has a date of 8-2015 for it falling off my report. That just happens to be the month/year that the repo was charged off.
I contacted the OC and they said that is how they handle it. They go 7 years from when they charge off the account. (Doesn't make any sense since they reported 9-2006 to the others) I had a nice fight with them and informed them it is 7 years from the DOFD. Which happens to be September of 2006 when i first went delinquient. They waited over 2 years to charge off the account. I disputed it but now am waiting patiently for Equifax to side with me and have it removed....I am not a patient person to say the least
