After you pay off a collections account how long does the negative record stay on the credit report before it is taken off?

The length of time a derogatory account shows on your credit has nothing to do with it being paid or unpaid.
The reporting period is 7 years from the "date of last activity". This date is established by the Fair Credit Reporting Act as the last time the account was paid in a timely manner immediately prior to its' default.

How do you remove collections from credit report?
Good question. There are a few tactics to remove collections from your credit report; First, is the debt paid off? If so, the option I would suggest is to write a dispute letter to that specific credit bureau. If the debt has not been paid yet, typically, you can negotiate with the creditor to remove the collection account from your credit report if you pay the debt (WARNING!!! make sure this is stated in writing before you send any money).
