How can you purchase a car if you have a car that was hidden from repossession for eight years for what it is worth in PA?

If this car has never been repossessed after eight years, it has still been charged off as a bad debt and will remain on your credit report. Lenders can follow you for the deficency balance as long as they wish to refile it. If it had been repo'd, usually after seven years it is dropped from your credit report if there was no unpaid balance. You will have a hard time getting another vehicle financed in your name. Get a copy of your credit report from the three majors, and see how it looks. You would have been wiser to surrender the vehicle and take your knocks early rather than hiding it.
