Evening ☺️
I would like some information about when defaulted accounts come off a credit report. I have an account below that is settled.
Account start date
I would like some information about when defaulted accounts come off a credit report. I have an account below that is settled.
Account start date
17/02/2015
Account end date
12/11/2016
The account has payments on time then a few missed payments then some payments on time, then there were continuous missed payments before it was settled in 2016.

I would like to know if anyone could tell me when the account will come off my credit report is it from the start of the account or the end?
Many thanks
Terry

They usually stay on for six years after closure. That's certainly what happened to me, anyway.
