tycin1 10 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 BK stays 10 years. CC stays for 7 years and 180 days past the date it went delinquent. Link to post Share on other sites
Methuss 10,104 Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 The credit account still stays for 7 years, not 10. As a matter of fact, Most of the time, the CRAs will even remove the BK after 7. TransUnion does it on their own, the others usually have to be disputed as obsolete.The FICO model doesn't count a BK more than 7 years against you for scoring, so the CRAs have no reason to keep it for 10 other than to drive you nuts.
