It's 7 years from the Date of First Delinquency (DOFD) not the reported or last payment date. The DOFD is the month/year the account first became delinquent and was never brought current. This is, usually, 180 days prior to the account being charged off which, per EQ, seems to be May 2015, so the fall off dates appear accurate as May 2022 would be 7 years.
Experian drops 3 months early and automatically includes that Early Exclusion for the date provided on your reports so that's where the Feb. 2022 comes from.
Transunion will delete 6 months early upon request - use the forum search bar to look up Early Exclusion (EE) for Transunion.
Equifax will be the last to drop and they typically do so 1 month early.

The other two EX and EQ I should just leave be then?
Yes. You can request an EE from TU in October. Let EX and EQ drop on their own.

I recently downloaded my three free reports from annual credit report to see when my private student loan charge off would drop from my reports and I can't seem to find the answer. I *thought* it was supposed to stay on until 7 years after the date of last reporting (in ND) but then when I looked up that date in now states it's only 6 years; is that correct?
On my equifax report these are dates given:
date of last payment: 03/01/2015
date of first delinq: 05/01/2015
date delinq first reported: 08/01/2015
do i go by any of these days?
however, looking at my experian account is says plainly: not due to fall off report until 02/2022 and then TU says due to fall off 04/22
All seem to have the exact same reported dates so why are they giving me different 'fall off' dates?
Are the agencies always correct with those dates or can I dispute them with the 6 year rule? Any help/guidance would be VERY much appreciated! I haven't posted here in ages but I've always gotten great feedback from the people : )
There is no "6 year rule" so don't know what you are talking about.
The reason the removal date is different between TU and EX is EX has a 2 month early exclusion built into their removal date.
The date that controls the removal time frame is the date of first default (in your case 5/15). The date of last payment, first reported delinquency, open date (for collection accounts), etc don't matter for removal time frames.
Are these private loans or fed backed loans?
Private (according to original pist)

No. The DOFD cannot be reset by resale/transfer of the account.
