The exclusion period for collections and charge-offs is no later than 7 years plus 180 days from the DOFD.
The CRAs routinely grant their own early exclusion at approx 7 years from DOFD, but exclusion can occur at different times, and can extend the full 7 plus 180.
The only absolute is that exclusion must occur after 7 years plus 180 days.
DOFD is only reported as a month/year. No day of the month is involved.
Thus, the required exclusion date is the beginning of the next month after expiration of 7 years plus 180 days from the reported DOFD.
