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.
From what I have researched, a judment or deragatory mark (not including bankrupcy) will stay on your credit report for 7 years plus 180 days. The 7 years start from the date the first delinquincy was reported to the agency. The 180 days is the leway they give the reporting agencies to remove it from your report.
