There is no law that compels any creditor to report to the credit bureaus. It is voluntary.

If the account is already being reported to the bureaus as a derogatory, with a balance, it would be in your best interests to have the settlement shown. But other than requesting this, or attempting to update your credit yourself, there is no way to compel this.

Can pay pal report negative account balances to the credit bureaus?

No. PayPal has no agreement with the end-user (you) for reporting to credit bureaus. After 1 1/2 years, PayPal writes off the amount owed for credit on federal taxes. This amount brings them a 70% return on their taxes hence saving them on collections. It all pretty much boils down to after 1 1/2 years - 2 years max, the collections process will discontinue and the amount will be written off. PayPal uses no third- party collection resources or reporting resources to credit bureaus. This is all from the PayPal Terms of Service.
