how long can an entry remain on a credit report?

How is the item reported in your credit file? Is it shown as paid?

If the account was in default or in collections, and you paid later, the negative will remain for seven years.

You can always dispute it and get them to change the status..

If the account is not reported negatively, it never really has to come off. Bad ones are removed seven years after your first date of delinquency.

Good Day
