I believe any debts are no longer deemed recoupable after 7 years. This does not mean it just clears up though. You will need to start creating a good debt record (i.e. lots of payments on time) before you can have a healthy credit rating. Start with a cell phone contract. Good payments on that can lead to maybe a credit card with your own bank etc. Eventually you can get a decent mortgage deal!

If a collection account has been removed from credit report will it get effected by the 'last activity date' if a person pays the balance off?

It may. There is no way to tell what the repercussions will be. If the company (assuming that it is a collection agency and not the original creditor) is willing to take your payment and not update the now non-existant credit listing, then it may have no effect, except to clear your conscience. If it is an original creditor, like a credit card company; their processes of reporting and updating bureaus are so fragmented and automated, they may not be aware of, or able to control, the reporting of information to the bureaus. A paid collection with a recently reported date MAY find its way back onto your credit and impact your credit scores. Technically, the date the account was paid is NOT the date of last activity. However, this error is a common occurence and may happen in your case.

If your income tax is offset what happens?

Generally, it means that your income tax refunds are withheld and applied as involuntary payments of defaulted student loans and delinquent child support payments. But it may mean a credit, in the case of the state of Missouri's non-resident tax offset credit. Non-resident students get a dollar-for-dollar credit on the non-resident part of their tuition.
