items will remain on your credit report 7 years from the date of last activity. What that means is if the account was already 6 years on your report but it was sold to another company it could remain on your report for another 7 years based on activity

It depends on the credit bureau. Experian, for example, removes information after seven years. Equifax removes unpaid items after 10 years. TransUnion is a little more forgiving and will remove an unpaid item after seven years, as long as it's been reported to them as unpaid by the creditor. So it really varies depending on which bureau you're talking about. But generally speaking, an unpaid credit card account will stay on your credit score for anywhere from 3-10 years, depending on the credit bureau and how long the account has been delinquent.

If you had vehicle repossessed seven years ago and it has been turned over to a collection agency will the collection stay on your credit report until it is paid in full?
* The question is a little vague, however here's what I can say: IF, and it should have been, the repossession was first put on his credit report 7years ago then no. Any negative credit - excluding bankrupcy - by law must be taken off your credit report after 7years of its last active date (this is either when it was put on, or when you last paid it).
How can you purchase a car if you have a car that was hidden from repossession for eight years for what it is worth in PA?
If this car has never been repossessed after eight years, it has still been charged off as a bad debt and will remain on your credit report. Lenders can follow you for the deficency balance as long as they wish to refile it. If it had been repo'd, usually after seven years it is dropped from your credit report if there was no unpaid balance. You will have a hard time getting another vehicle financed in your name. Get a copy of your credit report from the three majors, and see how it looks. You would have been wiser to surrender the vehicle and take your knocks early rather than hiding it.
