The 7 years is from the DOLA PLUS 180 days - or basically 7 years from charge-off. If the charge-off was before Dec 1997, then its 7 years from DOLA because prior to the 1996 change in the FCRA, creditors were not required to charge-off at 180 days of non or insufficient payment. Unpaid student loans can and will haunt your reports for a lifetime if you don't do something about them. If it was a federally-backed loan, the Feds will punish you forever until you pay them.
