    I know I could you the search thread, but actually I don't know what I would type in to find the answer or question. How long does good credit stay on your report? If I have old accounts (mortgage, cars etc) that are paid off with 0 balance and no late pays? Thanks

    You can request that good information stay on longer than the 7 years.

    george they are right.

    Good items can stay on indefinitely. I was told this by equifax. They however usually leave it on for 10 years. Experian said they leave it on 10 years also. But they dont have to remove it.

    RE: george they are right.

    I just copied what was on the EXPERIAN credit report.

    I don't think that there is a GOOD reason to DUMP ANY GOOD INFORMATION FOR 50 YEARS...
    unless your report is 50 pages long...

    What, just send them a request and they'll do it? What if it has already disappeared, will they reinstate it?

    Sam is right, George is wrong.

    Good trade lines stay on 10 years (after they are closed); open accounts, of course, are always on there, then 10 years after they close. Derog trade lines, collections, etc., drop after 7 years from ODD.

    Well my report is too long. Did you read my post from earlier. Equifax said they can't put my credit report online anymore b/c it is too long and refunded my money. Dang. That is a trip. I think they should delete some of the negatives in that case. Lol.
