It does yes, but only for seven years after it happened. This is because the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) specifies that anything on your credit report can only be on it for seven years after inactivity. Inactivity means that you have not had anything to do with it.
For example, lets say you had a delinquent credit debt and did nothing with it for seven years, it would fall off your credit report. But even if you paid 1 dollar to this debt 6 years and 364 days after it's date, it would be on for another seven years.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
