That means a late pay will drop off after 7 years, but every month you're late is a new event and new reporting date. Foreclosures, repos and chargeoffs are also 7 years. Bankruptcy is 10 years. Remember that the discharge date may be very different that the filing date.

How long does an unpaid credit card stay on my credit score?
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.

How do you get accounts that have been closed for a long time removed from your credit report?
You get closed accounts removed from your credit report in the same manner as any other information. You write a letter of dispute to the creditor, or credit bureau, or both. The question is; why do you want closed accounts removed from your credit? If these accounts were paid as agreed, their appearance on your credit report is still offsetting any other information that appears there. I have clients with closed, 6-10 year old, accounts and active derogatory accounts that still have viable credit scores. Were they to challenge and have removed the closed accounts, they would have no score at all, which can be worse than having a low score. Keep in mind that your credit report, and the resulting credit score, is a history of how you have paid your bills in the last 7 to 10 years. You do not necessarily want that history to be empty.

How do you remove closed accounts from your credit report?
Disputing information on your credit report... This method is for direct correspondence with the credit bureau. If you find anything inaccurate, incomplete, incorrect, or obsolete, you have the right to dispute that item on your credit report. The credit bureau then has a reasonable time to contact the creditor and have them verify the disputed item. A reasonable amount of time under the Federal Law has been construed to be 20 working days. However, you need to understand that with this type of transaction, it could take from four to eight weeks to receive your reply back. Technically, if the credit bureau does not respond back within 30 days, the incorrect or inaccurate item must be removed. If, after the credit bureau investigates the item and the information is found to be inaccurate or no longer can be verified, the credit bureau must delete the item in question. It should be noted that when a negative item is more than two or three years old, many creditors will not respond to the credit bureau because of lack of records. Therefore, by law, the bureau should remove the item from your report. Since most creditors do not have the space to retain records for a long period of time, there may not be any documentation about your payment history. Understand also that the creditor does not have to provide documentation to the bureau of the disputed item. They simply check various boxes on the statement as to whether you were late, paid on time, etc.

How long does NY state keep negative credit information on file?
New York state does not "keep" credit information. National repositories, like Equifax, Experian, Trans Union and Innovis, keep credit information. There may be smaller, local credit agencies affiliated with the big three (the first three) which have consumer's files. Credit information remains for a long time. Certain aspects, like the opening date, is used to calculate credit scores for decades. Certainly basic data, such as indentifying information like your name, addresses, date of birth and social security number are kept throughout a consumer's life. Derogatory information is shielded after 7 - 10 years, (it still exists and can be accessed if your credit is pulled with specific parameters). This statute of limitations is set by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The FCRA CAN be superceded by state law, when applicable.
