Does credit card debt that sold to another company get removed from my credit after 7 years?

I live in GA, and it was a fraudulent HSBC card (identity theft). HSBC sold the account to Atlantic Crd, and for awhile I was hearing from their attornies, JP fry and associates, but they gave up when I never sent them any money. The credit agencies (experian and transunion) are refusing to remove it from my report, and I am tired of dealing with it. Will this, like credit card debt, disappear from my credit record in 7 years? Or do I need to keep fighting this?

I’m fine with going another couple of years with it on my record if it will just go away on its own eventually. Also, is the 7 years from the time “I” defaulted on the credit card, or did their selling the account to Atlantic CRD advance the date?

This will also be helpful in my understanding my husband’s credit card debt, which is now older than 7 years.
I did claim fraud. They just said they didn’t have enough evidence that it was, and weren’t going to remove it from my record. But that isn’t my question.

If someone can ANSWER THE QUESTION I ASKED I’d really appreciate it.
I did tell the credit card issuer it was fraud, that is when they sold it to the other company. Then the other company called and I told them I told the credit card company it was fraud and the guy on the phone said “oh, no wonder they sold it to us”. Because otherwise I have perfect credit.

I am a major victim of Identity theft and has been chasing this case for almost 4 years. What must I do.?

i got pickpocketed awhile back… never thought the thief would even use my name and everything ..or come up with it. I went to police file report..got notary and all that.. Freeze my account for 7 years… now It’s still a problem. I check my free credit report and it’s so messed up.

credit companies want us to sign up for their membership and monitoring software. Is it worth it?

I used to love how I get instant credit on everything. Now it’s just an ass to go through getting credit.

what should i do? should I just buy the membership like $10 a month and that should solve my problem?

Can I report identity theft years after it has happened?

I had my purse stolen a few years ago in 2005. I basically had my whole life in there – money, credit cards, checks, social security card and my drivers license. I filed a complaint to the IRS thinking that was all I had to do, but recently I have been noticing that people I know who have been a victim of identity theft have reported police reports and have case numbers and all that kind of stuff regarding their information. Is there anything that I can do now about what happened 3 years ago? I’m still young and I don’t have any assests, but I am just scared about the future – that if whoever stole my identity would know how to obtain things like my SS after I were to retire or anything else that I work my life for. Thank you, any info/help and advise would help.
