once again bob from irvine strikes
AUTHOR: The Outlaw Josey Wales - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Monday, January 14, 2013
When I went to find a replacement, imagine my surprise when I discovered that Capital One never removed the repossession from my credit report.
- Repossession is not just having your car taken and not returned. Even if you are able to get your car back it is still considered Repossessed. So the credit listing is correct and valid...sorry.
Eventually, Capital One charged off the remaining balance, then sold my account to a collection agency that conducted a hard inquiry on my credit report without my permission.
- Regardless of what happened to the car, you still owe the balance of the loan. While it is too late now, you should have fought a little harder with the other insurance company to pay the entire balance, not just what the car is worth. But since you still have a balance, you are still legally responsible for that $2,000. Since you did not pay that balance they have the legal right to sell your account to a 3rd party collection agency. That agency also has the right to do inquiries on your credit report. Oh and who gave them this permission..you did when you originally signed for the loan.
One other thing. The "Charge-Off" doesn't mean you don't owe the money, you just owe it to the collection agency. If you fail to pay it they have the right to sue you for the money. Where if they do, and are able to prevail you would not only be on the hook for the balance, but court and legal fees as well. If they get a judgment and you fail to pay it, they may have the legal right to garnish your wages and/or attach your bank accounts.
One final thing. If you think you would have been treated any different with other lenders. Think again as they would have all done the same thing. As nothing you have mentioned is anything out of the ordinary.
