Negative credit information remains on a credit report for seven (7) years from the time it is reported. Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains for ten (10) years from the time of discharge or reportage to the credit bureaus.

In some cases judgment liens they also expire after 7 years unless/until the lien holder renews the judgment. If a judgment is renewed, most can be, it can be reentered on the judgment debtor's CR and will remain until satisfied or the time once again expires. This is only one example of why judgment liens are so damaging for the judgment debtor.
