You can try to dispute the entry with the credit bureaus, but there is no sure fire way to remove accurate and timely information from a credit report. If disputing for one reason does not work, then try another reason.
The only people with whom you should try to get even are those who have helped you.

Did they repo and sell it; or did you pay them to get the car back. Makes a difference how they report.
If you got the car back, it really should be reported as a "redeemed repossession", which is still a bad mark but has a little less overall impact (since it shows you took care of it without them having to sell it).
Either way, they are allowed to report the fact that the car was repossessed even if you paid it off. Albeit they should be reporting a closed/zero balance.
If they are reporting accurately, there's not much you can do other than dispute like Morningstar said.
Is there a letter that can be sent to the creditor asking for their help in removing the redeemed repossession. My car was repo'd for less than $2000 and it was mostly late fees because we thought the account was paid in full and we did not recieve any letters or calls from them. The repo company just showed up 4 months after our last payment. Our account should show them that we were never that far behind.
My daughter had her car repossed but she paid to get it back now the have put the repo on her credit can that be done she has ten mths to go on her car payments still.
By signing up for counseling session, your provided details (Name, Email ID and Phone No.) will be forwarded to the company advertising on the DebtCC. However, you have no obligation to use their services.
Some creditors and collection agencies refuse to lower the pay off amount, interest rate, and fees owed by the consumer.
Creditors/collection agencies can make collection calls and file lawsuits against the consumers represented by the debt relief companies.
Debt relief services may have a negative impact on the consumer's creditworthiness and his overall debt amount may increase due to the accumulation of extra fees.
The amount which the consumer saves with the use of debt relief services can be regarded as taxable income.
