How about good items? I would like my student loan records to stay there forever once I pay them off.

Thank you Joe. I am finding that nothing actually purges automatically from any report. Does it get removed like it never existed or does it just move to another part of the report?

BANKRUPTCY: A bankruptcy automatically purges six (6) years from the date of discharge in the case of a single bankruptcy. If the consumer declares several bankruptcies, the system will keep each bankruptcy for fourteen (14) years from the date of each discharge.

Can someone tell me how long the information contained in the credit history and banking section of your credit report stay on or do they ever have to remove it?
