How Far Back Does Credit Report Go? | The 7 Year Rule

from The Credit Pros Podcast · host The Credit Pros

Credit reports track your financial history but don't show data older than 7 years due to the 7-year rule, with certain exceptions such as bankruptcies. Active credit accounts and those in good standing may remain on your report beyond 7 years. Items can be disputed and potentially removed if they are incorrect or unfair, even if they are less than 7 years old.
