Time Limit for Items report on Credit Report

[Anonymous]

Does anyone know when an item such as a student loan is supposed to drop from a credit report? I know its 7 years, but is it 7 years from when account was opened, account was closed, or last day of activity on account?

If it's a Federal Student Loan, there is no SOL.

Even Private student loans are exempt from SOL.

Don't scare him off completely, wait till he recovers from the previous post to let him know! 

Student loans are one thing not to mess up.
