It will be removed from your credit report 7 years after they have made contact with the account holder. Example: when they mail you bills, if they don't get it back as return-to-sender, that's a contact because they are assuming that they didn't get it back because that is the address of the account holder.

The same is true with phone calls. If they call and at no point are they told that they have a wrong number, although they may never speak to the person they are asking for, that's a contact.

Can you get information removed from credit report that is almost 7 years old?

Depends on what you want taken off. If it is something reflecting good on your credit report than you want to keep it on there. That's what is helping your score. If it reflects bad and you dont owe the debt anymore, than write into all 3 credit bureaus disputing the debt, then the the bureaus will send a letter to the company for validation. The company has up to 10-20 days to respond. Once the company responds stating whether or not you owe the matter the credit bureaus will remove it if you dont owe it or notify you that you owe the debt.

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 The FCRA CAN be superceded by state law, when applicable.
