So I stopped making payments on most of my credit cards 2-3 months before filling for BK7
Equifax and Transunion don't show late payments for those 2-3 months, doesnt show any payment history actually and just mentions including in BK7
Experian however is reporting payment history and those 2-3 months late on each account
Is that something common with Experian ?
Any way to remove those late payments from experian ?
I'm 10 months past discharge
How long will those 3 month late payments affect my score heavily ?

Just the same as if you didnt file BK. Anything before the file date sticks as mentioned above.
I check my reports every month and now, after I just went through clearing some old stuff off of my reports, specifically Experian, they are reporting the same stuff I just disputed two months ago that they removed. A never ending circle of caacaa. :/
Sometimes if you dispute accurate info. They will remove it until their investigation is over. If its accurate. Back it comes. And in some cases it can ding your reorts for being updated. Not a good practice. If its inaccurate. Go to the source that enters the info to the CRA's instead.
All 3 are reporting that I have 30+ days late on all of my accounts that were IIB but I never missed a single payment. When I look at my credit breakdown on myfico everything is very good but my payment history which was never a day late. Unfortunately, that makes up 35% of the score so I guess I just have to eat it. Sucks when they get it wrong too.
