How long after removing an authorized user account for the account to be removed from credit report?

[Anonymous]

I was an authorized user on a number of credit cards. These were decreasing my average length of credit history. I read that if you close an authorized user account this will remove it from your credit report. After closing these accounts 2 months ago, they are still on my report.

How long should I expect to wait until these are cleared off?

Thank you!

You may have to dispute them. I did the same with a Discover account  last year and it is still on my reports. EQ and EX showed 0 balance when I removed myself so I left it but once I disputed it on TU for showing maxed out balance, they immediately removed it.
