Challenge the credit reports about the cards. There is a loophole that you can pass freely through, if you challenge the debt as not yours even though you%26#039;ve paid them off. The credit card company has 30 days to respond to all 3 of the credit reporting agencies. If credit company doesn%26#039;t respond in 30, they are removed from your credit file and your score rises. Forget the 3 to 7 years crap. That%26#039;s only if they go unchallenged.

If the accounts are still open, they will stay indefinitely. If they are closed, they will be on your report for 7 years from the date of last activity.

Whether it helps your credit or not may depend on many factors. If they were good, paid on time, accounts, they may help you because the 0 balances will help your debt ratio. If there were late payments on these cards, that usually never looks good to potential creditors.
