How long does a repo stay on your name?
Elijah King 
seven years
In the case of a repossession, the account was never brought current, so the entire account will be removed seven years from the original delinquency date. The original delinquency date is the date of the first missed payment that led up to the repossession status. There are other dates in the credit report, as well.
How do I get my name off a repossession?
There are a couple of things you can do to try to remove one:
- Negotiate with your lender: Your lender loses money when they repossess.
- File a dispute: If you go through your credit reports and see anything reported inaccurately about your repossession, you can dispute it with the credit bureaus.

What to do if your name is on a blacklist?
You may only be blacklisted if judgment was taken against you. The National Credit Act (Act 34 of 2005) stipulates that if you were blacklisted and have paid the debt for which you were listed, you may apply to the credit bureau where you were listed to have your name removed from that list.
What happens when you get blacklisted by a bank?
When a person’s name enters the “blacklist,” it becomes harder for that person to apply for financial services from banks. How does a person become blacklisted? The main reason financial institutions deny credit facilities to borrowers is their murky history.
Can a credit bureau delete a blacklisting letter?
The credit bureau will then delete the blacklisting. The creditor is, by law, not obliged to write such a letter. Make the letter part of your negotiations by means of a written contract or agreement.
What does it mean to be blacklisted on CRB?
Blacklisting on CRB means that you have missed a couple of payments or stop repaying their loan. Banks blacklist you after you delay payment after 90 days. Mobile lenders blacklist you after 30 days of not making loan payments. When you are marked as a defaulter by CRB, then institutions that give loans will not lend money to you.
