How long does negative information remain on a credit report?

Total Debt Solutions - FAQ
Most negative information may remain on a credit report for seven years. Bankruptcy may remain on a credit report for 10 years. We say ‘may’ because there is no law that requires creditors to report you to the credit bureau to begin with. Both federal and state courts do not report you to the credit bureaus. Instead, the credit bureaus hire companies to go to the courts on a regular basis to retrieve information so that they might sell it to their subscribers.

I have negative information on my credit report. Can you remove it?

Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Greater Dallas
The purpose of a credit report is to present an accurate picture of your credit history to anyone with a permissible purpose to view your report. If there is negative information on your report, but it is true, it needs to stay. Of course, if the data is false, then you need to file a dispute to get it removed. Stay clear of any outfit that claims they can "fix" your credit report. Only time and a good pay history can do that.

But what if the CRA says the incorrect information is accurate?

Coastal Credit Solutions
A reinvestigation is not always going to solve your credit issue. If the creditor says the information is correct, most likely the CRA will believe them. The best you can do is: Contact your creditor directly and resolve the issue with them first, and then ask the CRA for another investigation. Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act if you tell the information provider that you dispute an item, a notice of your dispute must be included anytime the information provider reports the item to a CRA.
