7 years
Typically, after 7 years, the debt becomes time barred. It would come off of your credit report. If you have had any contact with the creditor or collector within that past seven years, you could have re-affirmed your debt. This means the debt could start all over from that date, if you made any statements to the effect of being responsible for the debt in question. If it's been over 7 years, they can still attempt to collect from you, however you couldn't be sued.
They can send you a letter, but they cannot sue you.

The statute of limitations per the FDCPA (Fair Debt Collections Practices Act) is seven years from the date of last payment. In that time, if it becomes clear to the creditor that you will not have paid off the balance owed, they will very likely obtain a judgment against you that will extend this to ten years from the date of the judgment.
It gets removed after 7 years.
