It begins from the time a late payment was made or when the account is remanded to a collection agency. Some collection agencies will update the reporting status on an account, thereby keeping an account active and extending the expiration date. This is not legal and the consumer should always challenge any such activity shown on their CR and insist the data be corrected.

How to remove a bankruptcy from credit report?

The bankruptcy will remain on the credit report until the required ten years has expired. UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Bankruptcy from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "bankruptcy" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any "verifiable proof" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The Federal Court that the bankruptcy was filed in may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the "verifiable proof" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file.

The information on the credit report is available up to seven years, both positive and negative. Some collection agencies though can fulfill your request to remove a negative collection in return for a full payment and a lot of people have done this despite it being illegal. The best that you can do to balance out a negative collection is to improve on other aspects of your report. I found ways to do that here http://www.myfreecreditreportx.com/how-to-improve-your-credit-score-fast

Foreclosures can be removed from your credit report like any other negative item. You must dispute it to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus will have 30 days to verify the foreclosure or it must be removed from your credit report. With the higher amount of foreclosures lately you have a better chance of it being removed.

Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "foreclosure account" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report.

How do you remove late payments from a credit report?

Credit bureaus and the original creditors have the power to remove late payments. You can contact the original creditor that posted the late payment and ask for them to remove it. They will probably only do this if you have had a good payment history with them. You can also send dispute letters to each of the credit bureaus asking for verification on your negative listings. You can do this yourself or hire credit repair company to do it for you.
