Depends on what the account is.. if it is a tax lien, or a judgment, there are different stipulations but usually on a collection or OC account, it is 7 years plus 180 days from the DOFD.

CC's are 7 years from 1st missed payment, so start complaining to bureaus as soon as 7 year anniversary shows up

tax liens are 10

Re: 7 year removal

The ONLY time DOFD is relevant is with respect to a collection or charge-off.  It has zero relevance to monthly delinquencies, or any other adverse item of information.

 

Charge-offs and collections have a CR exlusion date of 7 years plus 180 days from the DOFD, defined as the first date of delinquency in the most recent chain of delinquency that preceded the collection or charge-off.

 

Monthly deliquencies each have their own exclusion date of 7 years after the date of their delinquency.

 

Tax liens are excluded after 7 years from date of payment.  They are the one type of adverse action where the date of occurence does not control, but rather the date of payment of the debt.
