Depends, a repo stays on credit for 7 years, and a bankruptcy stays for 11 years, after you have paid off a debt and they have received payment it should be taken of immediately, but you may want to get a free credit report and check and if it is still there call them and ask them about it.
According to the credit reporting agency Experian, this is how it works: The debt starts as a current, never late account. As you get behind on the payments, it is typically reported as being 30, 60, 90, and then 120 days late. At that point the creditor is likely to charge off the debt. Its status will be changed to âcharged offâ and âsold to collections.â âCharged offâ and âsold to collectionsâ are both considered a final status. Although the account is no longer active, it stays on your credit report.
