You have the right to dispute mistakes on your reports under a federal law, the Fair Credit Reporting Act. If you ask for an investigation, the CRA or creditor who receives your dispute must investigate and respond within 30 days in most cases.
The act states that most negative items must be removed from your credit report seven years from the first date of delinquency. Some exceptions to the seven-year rule include: Chapter 7 bankruptcy filings (10 years). Judgments (seven years or until the state statute of limitations expires, whichever is longer). Money owed to or guaranteed by the government (unpaid taxes or student loans stay on your report indefinitely or until seven years from the date paid).
