After 7 years, most credit card debts are typically removed from your credit report due to the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which limits the reporting of negative information to seven years. However, this does not eliminate the actual debt; creditors can still pursue collection efforts or legal action to recover the amount owed. Additionally, while your credit report may no longer reflect the debt, it can still impact your creditworthiness if you have unpaid collections lingering. It's important to address any outstanding debts even if they fall off your credit report.
