You should pay the account but make sure you benefit from it. Sometimes, it may be best to allow it to go to collection to pay them in order to get a deletion letter. Keep in mind that your credit score is calculated on what you have done in the last two years. It may be best to leave it alone for now. However, why are you paying the account now? If you want to get a mortgage, it is best to pay the account at closing. Based on Phil Turner's Credit Bible also here is the limitation of credit reporting from the book:

There is also a statue of limitations on how long a credit bureau may report negative information in your credit profile.

* Bankruptcies must be removed ten (10) years from the date filed.

* All other negative items including wage earner plans must be removed seven (7) years from the date filed. Late payments, P&Ls, and repossessions must be removed seven (7) years from the last date of activity (meaning the last date you made a payment with that company). Judgments remains for 7 years or State Statute of Limitations, whichever is longer. It can remain longer than 7 years under Federal Law or State Law that could be 10 years plus a renewal period of 10 years.

How do you pay a settled and paid charge off?

Once a chargeoff has been marked "paid charge off," the borrower still owes the debt, but from an accounting standpoint, the lender has decided that they will not be able to collect that debt. Also, the charged off amount will stay on your credit record regardless of the next steps that you take. If you pay off that chargeoff, the lender will not adjust the trans line in the credit report. However, if you are trying to "make it right," you may send a payment to the lender at the same address that you sent payments prior to when collections started (be sure to mark the check/EFT with your account number and name).
