I just got my Chex report for the first time. As I knew, no derogatory information, in fact outside of the 6 inquiries the ONLY other things in there were my name and SSN.
The header above the Inquiries section says that inquiries remain for anywhere between 90 days and 3 years. Any clue as to what determines how long they stay?
Full Version: Chex Inquiries for 1-3 Years?

Yeah, that is a huge gap. Any idea what determines how long?
By law they can leave them that long is all
