NY 5 year rule

[RopeIsGettingShorter]

Recently found out about NYs 5 year removal rule. I'm originally from NY but live about half the year or more (depending on work) in a different state. I use my 2nd state address for mailing and my license is also in 2nd state. Can I just update my mailing and bureau info back to NY and get items dropped off my reports? 

EDIT: I've read through a lot of posts on here about it. Most of them are older posts and/ or the discussions simply end without much clarity. Also, I have 2 unpaid accounts left that are reported as CO and not sure how they'd be affected...

Law says you must be a current resident before during and after the baddie occured for a purge. And paid.

@FireMedic1 That was one of the many threads I read through. There's a lot of them and a lot of conflicting information (i.e. EX won't remove settled accounts but apparently they changed their tune as of '16-'17, you only have to be a current resident, only certain types of derogs can be removed, etc). They're mostly all older threads so I was hoping to find someone with a more current experience.

It worked for me with Experian this week,  but I've always lived in NY

@Bmom I lived there for 30 years and moved out but started going back and forth for work purposes a couple years ago. I just crash at my uncles for the season while I'm there.

@Santaclausthereal Did you just update your address with the credit bureaus or did you update with the creditors too?
