how long can things stay on your credit
Report Abuse. 1  7 years from the date it was reported, unless bankrupty or court judgement, that stays for 10 years. 2  Unfortunatly bad credit can stay on for at least 7-10 years. 3  It usually takes about seven years.
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.
