In general, those becoming "authorized users" will not have changes made to their credit report unless (1) they become an authorized user of a company card and that company requires employees to take personal responsibility for charges or (2) they become a joint account holder, making them responsible for all charges.
So, if one falls into one of the above camps, the time varies based on the frequency with which the issuer chooses to inform the credit bureaus. Because "authorized user" status does NOT change the liability of the account holder, these types of credit report transactions are not priorities and may take place a few times per year.
Wait three (3) months and re-review your credit reports. If the "authorized user" does not disappear, dispute the tradeline with the appropriate credit bureau.
It should rotate off of your credit report about 7 years after being discharged. It cannot be removed.
Being an authorized user no longer has an impact on your credit score like it used to. In the past, you were able to be added as an authorized user on a credit card, and all of the credit history and credit limit would be reported on your credit report as if it was your credit effectively obtaining unearned credit for the authorized individual. A few years ago the credit reporting industry changed, and no longer recognize an authorized user as credit responsible and therefore it has little to no impact on your credit score. If you would like to obtain credit from this card, contact the card issuer and request to be added as a joint user. If you are jointly responsible for the credit, it will report to the bureaus and impact your score. Approval is still required, but it is typically easier to be approved when you are already and authorized user on a card.
If you were only an authorized user and not a joint account holder, you should never be responsible for the primary account holder's debt.
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. UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Foreclosure 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 "foreclosure account" 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 bank that held your mortgage 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.
If you have disputed to have the bankruptcy removed in your dispute letter request your free credit report to be sent to you with the updated information. When a CRA corrects information on your credit report they have to send you a free copy of your credit report showing the updated information. This of course is if you had to dispute to get it removed if it just rolls off on its own you may have to pay for your credit report if you've already gotten your free yaerly report. That depends on a lot of factors. Your credit score is calculated using certain formulas and factors, such as amount of total credit versus credit being used, number of accounts, payment history of current accounts, etc. You're best bet is to obtain your score after you think the bankruptcy has been removed. You'll probably have to pay for it, but it's worth peace of mind.

Judgments will stay on your credit report for up to 7 years whether paid or not. You can dispute your judgments to the credit bureaus by sending dispute letters to each of the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus will have to investigate the items and if they are paid they have a greater chance of being removed.
Only the collection agency or the credit bureaus can remove a collection off a credit report. You can negotiate the removal of the collection off the credit report upon final payment of the debt owed. Some collection agencies have policies against this, some don't. You can also redispute it to the credit bureaus as many times as they will let you. It has a higher chance of being removed if it is paid off and an older account.
