    They are removed slightly differently depending on the CRA.

    Callcredit may remove it before the date. They did all of mine, and some others have reported the same.

    Experian should remove it at midnight exactly on the 6 years. That is the way their automated systems do it if they work correctly.

    Equifax will probably leave it on there for a few weeks before reluctant taking it off.
