How long will it take to get off my credit report?

For the last 2 1/2 years i have been getting small loans out with a finance company to establish some credit. I have had 3 of them and I am working on paying my 4th one off. When i looked at my credit report the other 3 were reported as closed.it is listed under revolving accounts, but they all have $0 balances. how long do these stay on your report?

Accounts with "good" standing can stay on for 10 years, and "bad" accounts fall off after 7 years. I watch a lot of Suze Orman. God Bless!
Reply:7 years for debts other than bankruptcy which stays for 10 years.


You have to keep checking though. I applied for a mortgage and a lawsuit which had occured almost 20 years before it showed up. It also showed me as the defendant when I was


the president of a defendant corporation. It did not mention that we won the lawsuit.


I had to do a lot of explaining and letter writing.
Reply:Usually stuff falls off after 5-7 years
