Let's assume the original amount of Harry's debt is x.
After 10 months, he has repaid $150 per month for a total of 10 * 150 = $<<10*150=1500>>1500.
Therefore, his remaining debt is x - 1500 = $6900.
Subtracting $6900 from both sides of the equation, we get x = $6900 + $1500 = $<<6900+1500=8400>>8400.
Therefore, the original amount of Harry's debt was $8400.
To find out how long it took Harry to repay his entire debt, we divide the remaining debt by the monthly payment: $8400 / $150 = <<8400/150=56>>56 months.
Therefore, it took Harry 56 months to pay back his entire debt. Answer: \boxed{56 \text{ months}}.
