How Long does it take for late payments to fall off credit?

How Long does it take for late payments to fall off my credit Report?

How long does it take for blemishes on my credit history to disappear? I had a bunch of late payments a few years back and when I applied for a loan, the banker brought it up that I had missed some payments 3 years ago. Will these follow me around forever?

The answer is 7 years from the date of delinquency.

7.5 years from the date of the first missed payment that led to the default. This time period can never be restarted. You still have a little ways to go for this to fall off your credit report. :P
