All creditor information has an expiration date (how long they are allowed to show on the credit report). This varies by the status & dates on the accounts. 1. Positive info - paid as agreed, will stay 10 years. 2. Negative info - delinquencies; collections; charge offs; judgments; chapter 13 bankrupties, will stay 7 years. 3. Chapter 7 bankrupties, will stay 10 years. 4. Tax lein may stay on forever if unpaid - 7 years if paid. Negative info depends on the 1st delinquency leading to the final status. Add 180 days (charge off date) plus 7 years to figure the expiration date. Judgments & Bankrupty will go 7 or 10 years from the discharge date. If there is an account that is open and had a delinquency date, if after 7 years from that date & the account is still open the reporting of the delinquency will expire off of the reporting. If you close the account before this time, then it will go 7 years from the paid off date and the delinquency will be froze till then when the whole of the info expires. This is for original creditors. Also the inquiries stay 2 years (showing all creditors that either had your permission or permissible purpose to pull a copy of your credit report). Means either you were applying for credit / service or you owed money to them. Hope this helps.
