How long does an unpaid credit card stay on my credit score?

It depends on the credit bureau. Experian, for example, removes information after seven years. Equifax removes unpaid items after 10 years. TransUnion is a little more forgiving and will remove an unpaid item after seven years, as long as it's been reported to them as unpaid by the creditor. So it really varies depending on which bureau you're talking about. But generally speaking, an unpaid credit card account will stay on your credit score for anywhere from 3-10 years, depending on the credit bureau and how long the account has been delinquent.
