Although the unpaid debt will go on your credit report and have a negative impact on your score, the good news is that it won't last forever. After seven years, unpaid credit card debt falls off your credit report. The debt doesn't vanish completely, but it'll no longer impact your credit score.
In short, no. The 7-year rule means that each negative remark remains on your report for 7 years (possibly more depending on the remark). However, after that period has ended, a remark will most probably fall off of your report.
Most negative items should automatically fall off your credit reports seven years from the date of your first missed payment, at which point your credit score may rise. However, your score may start rebounding sooner if you are otherwise using credit responsibly.
Lenders apply debt forgiveness in several ways, including through directly negotiated settlements or government programs. You can also approach industry professionals such as debt counselors to assist with repayment plans. However, it's important to keep in mind that debt forgiveness is relatively rare.
A late payment will be removed from your credit reports after seven years. However, late payments generally have less influence on your credit scores as more time passes. Unpaid debts and debts in collections also generally come off your credit reports after seven years.

Aside from bankruptcy, if a collection account, late payment or other derogatory mark appears on your credit after the seven years are up, you can file a dispute with the credit bureaus to have it removed.
Which debt solutions write off debts? Bankruptcy: Writes off unsecured debts if you cannot repay them. Any assets like a house or car may be sold. Debt relief order (DRO): Writes off debts if you have a relatively low level of debt. Must also have few assets. Individual voluntary arrangement (IVA): A formal agreement.
If you can't or don't want to keep paying the secured debt, you have the option to surrender the collateral. This means you give the property back to the lender, and you're no longer responsible for the debt.
