Obsolescence
A term used to describe how long negative information should stay in a credit file before it is no longer relevant to credit granting decisions. The FCRA has determined the obsolescence period to be 10 years in the case of a bankruptcy and 7 years in all other instances. Unpaid tax liens may remain indefinitely, although Experian removes them after 15 years.
