Old Charged off Account

I had a Capital One account that was charged off over ten years ago.

For the past couple years a collection agency has been trying to collect on the account.

Nothing shows on my credit report about this account.

I realize that I owe this debt, and would like to pay it. My question is, if I pay the collection agecny, will they then be able to list the account on my credit report?


I wouldn't advise that you do that, unless you can work out a deal (in writing) with them to NOT report. Right now, nothing should be on your report about this account. Having it reported as a paid charge-off would lower your score and have it put back on the account for another 7ish years.
