Joe DiMaggio was one of the best all-round baseball players in the history of the game, helping the New York Yankees to nine World Series titles.
The creditor is the one who reported the charge-off, and so it is he who can remove it once the debt gets paid. If you want to remove the charge-off on credit report, you will have to talk to the original creditor about the payments and request that he pulls back the account from the collection agency. However, this will depend on whether or not the account has been sold off.
    Paying off charge offs, or collection accounts, do NOT improve your credit score and can under certain circumstances lower the score. This is one of the fallacies about credit. A paid charge off is still considered a derogatory account. By paying off the collection, you will bring the last active date of the collection to the current month (now would be 10/03), and although it will now reflect a $0 balance, the fact that you have a recently active collection on your credit report is more derogatory than an old collection with a balance.
