Yes.
It depends on your situation but a foreclosure for example will normally cause you to have bad credit for 7 years. Most of the time bad debit will stay with you 7 years, but may sometimes remain with you for as long as 11 years.
It can not be erased. If it has been paid, it will come off your credit in 7 - 10 years. If you still owe money on it and they report monthly that you owe an amount, it can stay indefinitely. If you owe money, but they are not reporting it monthly to the credit agencies, it i will come off in the 7 - 10 years.
Bad credit doesn't just go away after the required 7 years of reporting. Usually you will need to contact all 3 credit bureaus to have the item removed after the 7 year period. Get a free copy of your credit report at http://annualcreditreport.com and check your entries.
UNLESS she declares B/K, it will remain for a longer time. No not true. EVERYTHING except bankrupties and tax leins may ONLY remain on your credit for 7 years. If it is still there after 7 years contact the credit bureau and demand they remove it. This MUST be done in writing.
No it is NOT! You have to get your credit report to see when the creditor last updated their report to the credit reporting agency. If the creditor chooses to report this bad debt every month than your bad debt will only be erased from the last update. For example: You have a bad debt from a Sears credit card from Jan of 2010. Each month Sears has reported your bad debt to Trans Union or one of the other agencies. The new date is from the last time they updated your credit report NOT from Jan of 2010. They can update it every month for the next 20 years and it will stay as a bad debt and ruin your credit report score. Legal to do it too.
