After seven years does negative credit information automatically drop off or does a letter have to be submitted to the credit bureaus?

After 7 years and (sometimes) an additonal 180 days, negative information is shielded from view on your credit report. This process is automatic, but can sometimes be speeded up by writing a letter of dispute. Any disputed items that cannot be verified must be shielded.
It is a misnomer to believe that any information "falls off". It is still there and can be accessed if a consumer's credit is pulled with the proper criteria.

Does a bankruptcy automatically come off your credit report after ten years?
No, You will need to write all 3 credit bureaus and request that the information be removed. Credit bureaus are legally bound to remove negative information upon the expiration of such. Unfortunately all credit bureaus are lax in their record keeping and it is indeed often necessary for the consumer to send a letter of dispute containing the pertinent information to have such matters resolved.

Can a foreclosure be removed from your credit report?
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.

Not in the sense that an officer of the court contacts credit bureaus and gives them the pertinent information.

The credit bureau itself would not be able to take on such an arduous task and still maintain quality productivity (assuming they do, which is a BIG assumption).
