One thing I will say, since I've seen it referenced elsewhere on the boards, is that occasionally, when a tradeline is within 6 months of naturally falling off, you can request the CRA's to delete it early, and often succeed.  It's not a guaranteed thing, but it's something you could try.


Good one one gizmotchy, no harm in trying to ask for an early deletion.

Would I contact the CRAs directly to request this, or raise a dispute about the account?

Contact them and ask, there's no reason to dispute.
