How do I remove a collection from my credit report?
Collections generally stay on your credit report for 7 years from the original delinquency date. You can remove them early by disputing errors under the FCRA, or by negotiating a pay-for-delete agreement with the collector — though collectors are not legally required to delete accurate, verified accounts.
