Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), a checking account closed by an institution because of mismanagement, and most other negative information, can continue to appear in these reports for up to seven years.

And just as a negative credit report can hurt your ability to borrow from a financial institution, a checking account history that shows a closed account can hurt your ability to open a new account.
