Hello,
Little question about the 6 year rule for things removing off your credit report,
Is this 6 years from when the account was opened, 6 years from when it defaulted or 6 years from when it was last updated?
For example I have an account opened in 02/16 that is on my report, and it was deaulted in 05/2018 however I fully paid off this account in 01/22.
Will this remove from my report in 06/24 or have I made this "worse" for myself / credit report, by paying this off in 22 and now I need to wait till 28 for this to remove?
Thank You
