A block of dry ice has a surface temperature of -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit (-78.5 degrees C). Dry ice also has the very nice feature of sublimation -- as it breaks down, it turns directly into carbon dioxide gas rather than a liquid.
Credit Accounts: Negative information remains for 7 years from the initial missed payment that led to the delinquency. Active positive information can remain indefinitely (if an account is closed that has been positive, then it will typically remain on your report for 10 years after the date the account is closed). Collection Accounts: A collection account remains for 7 years from the initial missed payment that led to the collection.
The length of time a closed credit card stays on your credit report depends on whether the account was closed in good standing. A negative closed account, like a charged-off credit card, will remain on your credit report for seven years. That's the maximum amount of time most negative information can be included on your credit report.
