7 yrs later

Normally, any negative items falls off your credit report after 7 years. If you've paid off the student loan in full, then you should write a letter to the credit bureau and request them to remove any negative information regarding the student loan from your credit report. However, if you haven't paid off the student loan and the lender has send it to collections and if 7 years are not over yet, then it'll remain on your credit report.

Please give more information....there are slightly different reporting rules for student loans. Were you in default? Current and paid in full?

i was in default... But later i got into a repayment rehab program and paid it off..

Student loans in default fall off 7 years from the default date, not the date of last payment.
