As long as you call them directly and work out a plan they will not report it as a reposession. If you fo not call them to work something out, they WILL report you as a repossession and it will affect your credit for another 7 years

Unfortunately, there is little or no difference between voluntarily returning a car and a repo. Either way, it hurts your credit badly.

However, regardless of what you do, remember that being able to afford your needs is a lot more important than what goes on your credit report. You can always improve your credit when you have the money.
