7 Years at the most. That's the most any one can hold it against you. Some states it may be less.

Negatives stay on your credit report for 7 years and 180 days from the date of last activity (DOLA) which is usually the date the account became 30 days late and was never brought back to current or the charge off date.

Collection agencies who buy old debt CAN NOT re-age the item even if you make a settlement payment. If they do attempt to put it back on your report, you can dispute it with the credit bureau as beyond the 7 years.

People often confuse the statute of limitations (SOL) with the reporting period. They are two different things. The SOL varies from state to state. Payment, and in some cases just promise of payment, will restart the clock. Even tho credit cards are defined as "open" accounts, some collection agencies have been successful in convincing judges that they are "written" accounts which often are longer periods.

A debt beyond the SOL does not mean the collection agency cannot continue to call and try to collect -- they can follow you to the grave. The SOL is an affirmative defense if you are sued.

There are exceptions to every rule. While those that have already answered the question are, overall, correct, there are ways to improve your credit and even get the debts eliminated prior to the 7/10 year rule. Please feel free to email me should you wish to discuss it.

7 years, although now they have a loop hole, someone comes in at the 7 years, buys the old debt and then starts bugging you as if it were a new debt. And it's legal.

Have seen lots of people asking info on bad credits. Well, if you need to get your problem solved on<!--bad credit, you must know to how to confront it. Of course, Even if you have bad credit, you can get loans. Many factors can contribute to someone getting a "bad credit" rating, among these are non-payment of an account or late payments over an extended length of time. You may find a bad credit loan here,

You may find want you want. You can easily be labelled as a bad credit risk by financial companies. This can make it more difficult to-->arrange loans or other finance, and usually means you will pay more interest on any loan you take out.
