I had a repossession and a charge off(Capital 1) in early 2003. I have not had a problem getting a car loan(albeit a high interest rate till I can refi) but getting a credit card besides Target(CL $500) is proving impossible.
My question is, what is the best way to rebuild credit when it seems that a creditor sees a repo and it is an instant reject?
Also does the repo ever get treated as 'old' issue or will it impact me until 2010 at the same level as it did in 03, and seems to now?
