They don't! you actually have to pay them.

Pay off your debts or wait til they fall off your report (it should say how long they will remain on there). Then get a credit card and pay it off in full each month. That will make your credit improve dramatically.


How many years does it take for credit to fall off?

A good credit history will remain on your report. The negative credit reported will usually fall off in around 7 years. Judgments will stay on your credit report until they are satisfied.


What happens to a credit card debt after 7 years?

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.


What date does a bankruptcy actually fall off your credit report?
