Hi lewis6275
The Fair Credit Report Act(FCRA) allows negative information to stay in the credit file for a period of seven years only except bankruptcy. Since the said account is past the reporting time, it should have been automatically removed from your file by now.
Dispute with the credit bureau and they will run an investigation with your information providers. This item will be removed from your file and you will be sent a free copy of your credit report within 30 days time.
Do your correspondences in writing through certified mail with return receipt requested. Keep everything documented in a file so that you can prove your actions in the later period.
