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 The FCRA CAN be superceded by state law, when applicable.

What if your credit report is missing information?

Your credit report may not reflect all your credit accounts. Although most national department store and all-purpose credit card accounts will be included in your file, not all creditors supply information to credit reporting agencies: Some travel, entertainment, gasoline card companies, local retailers, and credit unions are among those creditors that don't. If you've been told you were denied credit because of an "insufficient credit file" or "no credit file" and you have accounts with creditors that don't appear in your credit file, ask the credit bureau to add this information to future reports. Although they are not required to do so, many credit agencies will add verifiable accounts for a fee. You should, however, understand that if these creditors do not report to the credit agency on a regular basis, these added items will not be updated in your file.

What information about you is in a credit report?

Here's what can go in a credit report: Includes your name, address, marital status, your date of birth, number of dependents, previous address, and Social Security number. Includes your present position, length of employment, income and previous job. Consists of your credit experiences with specific credit grantors. Includes civil suits and judgments, bankruptcy records, or other legal proceedings recorded by a court. Under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, consumer reporting agencies may keep correct and verifiable information in your file for seven years, and ten years in the case of bankruptcy. There are a few exceptions: if you apply for a job which pays more than $75,000 per year, the reporting agency may provide all the information it has, including items over seven years old. information reported because of an application for more than $50,000 worth of credit or life insurance has no time limitation; information concerning lawsuits or judgments against you can be retained in your file for seven years or until the statute of limitations expires, whichever is longer.

How to remove a bankruptcy from credit report?

The bankruptcy will remain on the credit report until the required ten years has expired. UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Bankruptcy from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "bankruptcy" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any "verifiable proof" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The Federal Court that the bankruptcy was filed in may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the "verifiable proof" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file.


How do you fix your credit report if an original paid collection account is now listed with multiple other collection agencies a year later?

Your best bet is send a certified letter to the agencies who have your debt listed. Be polite and give them 30 days notice to remove the negative information. After 30 days have expired run another credit report to see if they removed the information. If the negative information is not removed you should file small claims judgment against the credit-reporting agency.


How can something be removed from your credit report?

It depends on what you mean. If you have erroneous information on your credit report, contact the credit reporting agency and tell them you want to file a dispute. If you're referring to a negative credit account or report that is in fact accurate, you usually cannot have that removed. Entries on your credit report are removed automatically after 7-10 years depending on what it is.


What is key derogatory?

That's a negative entry ("derogatory" is a negative term; "key" suggests it is an important negative entry). I have heard about credit reporting agencies using "key derogatory" where they do not have information from a particular month on file. Specifically in relation to chargeoffs, this can to sometimes occur when the debtor disputes a charge-off appearing in a credit report, and the reporting agency changes the description from "charge-off" to "key derogatory" while they verify the information with the creditor.

Can a foreclosure be removed from your credit report?

Foreclosures can be removed from your credit report like any other negative item. You must dispute it to the credit bureaus. The credit bureaus will have 30 days to verify the foreclosure or it must be removed from your credit report. With the higher amount of foreclosures lately you have a better chance of it being removed. UPDATE: Actually, you can force Equifax, Experian and TransUnion to remove a Foreclosure from your credit report and you can do it legally using a federal law that is in place. Credit Bureaus MUST have "verifiable proof" of the "foreclosure account" in their files if they are going to report the negative item on your report. The dirty little secret the credit bureaus don't want you to know is that they do not have any "verifiable proof" in their files for any of the negative items on your credit report. The bank that held your mortgage may have this information on file but the credit bureaus don't. If you request the credit bureau to provide you with the "verifiable proof" that they have in their files they will remove the negative from your file.


How long does bad credit stay on file?

The length of time that bad credit stays on file depends on the type of credit and circumstances of each individual. Typically, accurate negative items can be reported for a period of seven years. However, there are exceptions. For example, bankruptcy information can be reported for 10 years. Repairing your credit can be done. You can get away from bad credit stigma with a little hard work on your part. Try contacting a trusted financial advisor or credit repair agency. They can help guide you toward repairing your credit. In the UK your credit file contains any adverse information relating to your poor credit history. All references to such a history, must by law in the UK, be removed from your credit file after six years including court judgements. Using credit repair agencies is not always the best solution and in some cases can damage your credit rating further. Ask at your local CAB for advice.
