Re: stature of limitations
The statute of limitations does not set forth the time negative credit information may remain on your credit report.
Re: stature of limitations
The statute of limitations is a law which addresses how long a credit card has to take you to court and try to collect on the debt.
The FCRA allows derogatory information to be on your credit report for up to 7 years -- even if they can't collect on the debt.
