I Have Accurate Negative Information On My Credit Report But It’s 11 Years Old, Doesn’t This Ever Come Off My Report?

Yes. A credit reporting agency can report most accurate negative information for seven years and bankruptcy information for 10 years. After the appropriate time period, as laid out in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, has passed, the negative information cannot be reported anymore.
