Best Answer

Negative information must be removed from your credit report after 7 years.

The 7 years starts counting from the date the debt most recently became delinquent.

For example, if you took out a car loan on Jan 1, 2000 and made your payments on time until you missed a payment on Jan 1, 2004 then the late payment can be reported until Jan 1, 2011 even if you subsequently pay off the debt in full.
