Hopefully they will not put account abuse or fraud on your account because this will make it hard to open a new bank account. I recommend contacting them and asking them not to report you to ChexSystems, and get something in writing saying that your account is paid off. That way, if they report you, you can show you have paid it off, and a bank might open an account for you if they happen to still report you and you can show proof it's paid off.

A credit report will show that an account is either active or settled. If the account is settled, it means that it has been paid and is closed.
