I was stabbed last year and I have two collections

In your case I would highly suggest sending in goodwill letters....

As your original creditor has been paid off in full, I will suggest you to have a word with him and ask him to withdraw the account from collections and also update the status of the account. You can even show the documents which proves the fact that you've paid off the medical bills.

MOD NOTE...THE ACCOUNT IS A PAID COLLECTION...NOTHING TO WITHDRAW. THE STATUS IS PAID. THERE IS NOTHING TO PROVE.

Legally, if they were paid late, they are entitled to report regardless of who was paying it. If you read the original post it is reflected as paid in full. Asking for goodwill in this case is already what I suggested.....

Well... if you read my post properly, you'll find that I never asked the OP to not send a goodwill letter. Did I? You gave your opinion and I've given mine. This is an open platform and anyone can give his/her opinion to the posters here. The OP can send a goodwill letter to the collection agency or negotiate with his original creditor to whom he has paid off the debt in full and sort out the matter.

Opinions get people sued.

Which makes no sense because the account is already a paid collection. It's no longer "in collections," nor is the status incorrect.

A goodwill letter is asking the creditor and/or collection agency to remove the tradeline OR change the tradeline by deleting negative history...as a gesture of goodwill.

Can you fill in some facts?
Did you obligate for the debt, and the state was acting as an "insurer" of its payment? I am having trouble determining the agreement with, and involvement of, the state in obligation for this debt.
If obligation for the debt can be shifted to the state, then reporting the collection under your obligation may be an incorrect reporting.
