How will a repossession affect your credit in future purchases if the rest of your credit is good and it continues to be good?

Answer

Most lenders will view it as a one time thing and consider ALL your other credit experience. Some may require a larger downpayment.

Answer

seven years. and it will affect your credit badly for the first two to four years...regardless. If it has to be repossed let it be a willing repossession or try to sell it out-right before it is picked up. Credit in this time is as important as air. Don't damage it. I am a loan officer
