As soon as the company reports to the credit bureaus, it will reflect the changes in the status of the amount paid and status of the balance of the debt. Unfortunately, once the debt (account) was created it will remain on your credit report for seven years from the last time it was active. Unless you dispute the debt and get it deleted from your credit profile.
