How long does a bad credit card stay on my credit report?
It will be removed seven years from the date that it occurred. If you check your credit report then it will tell you the month and year that it will be removed. Oh, by the way, you are in titled to one free credit report from each credit agency every year. Here is the link below to do this. Also, it is a good idea to monitor your credit reports. If you find anything suspicious report it immediately.

Reply:HEY FYI IT IS 10 YRS LONG THAT A REPORT STAYS ON YOUR CREDIT LINE, THATS WITH A NEW LAW PASSED, CHECK IT OUT AND IF IM WRONG PLEASE CORRECT ME, THANKS Report Abuse

Reply:The length of time varies by state. I think New York is ten and a couple others but most are still 7 Report Abuse

Reply:Seven years is the "canned" answer for this question. The key is that the entry remains for seven years after the first 90-days form when the creditor first reported the derogatory history. The real answer is seven years and 90-days from the first derogatory entry.





Good luck!

Reply:7 years honey. 7 long years
Reply:Most debts are reported on your credit report for 7 years.


The 7 yr. period begins when the debt has been sent to collections, whether internally or to a 3rd party collection agency, at the end of 180 days after the first date of delinquency.





Check your credit reports, as they usually tell you when accounts will be removed.
Reply:depends on what it is, but it usually stays on there for between 5-7 years
