Late Payments
from the date the late payment occurred. The account does not have to be
removed if it did not go into default, just the late payments associated with the
account.
Chapter 7 bankruptcies must be removed no later than 10 years from the date
filed. Chapter 13 bankruptcies can remain on your credit reports for 7 years from
the date of discharge, though this date may not exceed 10 years from the date
filed. For a Chapter 13 the date of discharge and the filing date are not the same
dates.
Tax Liens Paid and released tax liens are required to be removed
from your credit reports 7 years from the date released. Withdrawn tax liens will
be removed from your credit reports immediately (though this is a matter of credit
bureau policy and not a requirement under the FCRA). Unpaid tax liens are never
required to be removed from your credit reports, although the credit bureaus may
choose to eventually remove them.
