This question needs further review. If you are referring to paying a collection account, you must negotiate a with the creditor to receive a deletion letter prior to paying the account in full. Also you may be better off waiting than making the payment now. It also depends on if you are trying to make a large purchase e.g. a home in how you handle this matter. Since I don't have an idea what type of account you are referring to, it is best you seek more knowledge prior to paying. Making a payment without the proper knowledge could really hurt your credit. Look up the Book The Credit Bible by Phil Turner and it will assist you in this matter.
