How long does a collection stay on a persons credit report?
Q. My fiance and I got in a little disagreement a little while ago about how long collections stay on a credit report. He says that after 7 years they will be removed from a persons credit report - whether they are paid or not. I disagree with that. Why would collection agencies just "give up" trying to collect money from a person and take it off a persons credit report. It doesn't make sense to me. If collection agencies just stopped trying to collect from a person after 7 years wouldn't a lot of people not pay their bills because it will just go away after 7 years? Can someone clarify this for me? Thanks!

A. I'd be glad to clarify! Collections stay on your credit report 7 years after the date of last activity. Don't let this confuse you...normally 7 years after date of last activity means the date that it was sold to the collection agency. Usually your account must be 180 days past due in order for the company to do that. Basically, I'm saying that the collection stays on your report 7 years and 6 months. After that, it will fall off your report. Now, to get to your question, the collectors don't just give up and stop trying to collect the debt. Legally, they are still entitled to their money since they were not paid as agreed. They can attempt to collect that debt forever, if need be. You're right. Many people would just wait out the 7 years… [cont.]

A. Addressing the question of if: I don't see why not Also, I assume that the phenotype of dwarfism is a recessive trait, and therefore would probably not be passed on to the next generation unless the partner is either a dwarf, or carries the recessive gene. That would probably mean a 100% chance and 50% chance, respectively.

A. Past comes back to haunt you.Your parents want the best for you, your safety is their concern.Too many teens engage in inappropriate behavior and your parents know this.Remember they were once teens themselves and they know what goes on.They want more for you,Be lucky you have loving and caring parents.In time they will allow more freedom for you when you show that you are responsible and that your friend is a decent person.
