Depends, a repo stays on credit for 7 years, and a bankruptcy stays for 11 years, after you have paid off a debt and they have received payment it should be taken of immediately, but you may want to get a free credit report and check and if it is still there call them and ask them about it.
Actually, collection accounts may be reported for seven years +180 days from the date you first fell behind with the original creditor (the original date of delinquency). If the creditor is reporting the debt is a charge-off, then that charge-off can be reported for seven years from the date it was charged-off.ere is what many debt collection agencies are doing, they will take an old debt that has long expired after the 7 or 10 year mark and then change the original date of debt and place it back on your credit report.
