How long does removal as 'authorized user' take to drop off my credit report?

[DDS7]

My boyfriend added me as an authorized user on his Barclay's Financing Visa without first discussing it with me. I found out when I saw it on my credit report! I called Barclay to ask what this card-which is not mine-was doing on my credit report. They tracked it down to my boyfriend as the owner. They removed me as of 10 minutes ago. I wonder how long it will take for this card to drop off my report?? The utilization on the card is about 90% as he just got the card last month and bought a new macbook pro on it. It's going to take him several months to pay it off. I really want my credit report to just reflect my own finances, not someone else's finances which are out of my control.

30-60 days

Thanks. Yeah I figured at least 30 days.

It's so strange that all he did was add my *name* to his card without my social security number..how did they track down the right person by just my name without my ss#.

Anyway, I told him to never do that again and I want to keep our finances separate.
