If you have an account that went to a collection agency however you paid it in full how long does it take for that collection account to be removed from your credit report?
It sticks for 7 years. The fact that it was turned over to a collections agency will make it to your credit report. When it is paid in full, it will say "settled" on your credit report so other creditors know you took care of the debt. Even so, it still haunts your credit report for 7 years.
Can the original creditor agree to recall the account from collections who is reporting it once it is paid in full in effect having it removed from the credit report?
Negative entries will remain on a credit report until the required time period of seven years has elapsed. Neither the original creditor nor a collector can have the entry removed, but it can be noted as "paid as agreed", "paid in full" "satisfied" and so forth.
If several debts listed on a credit report are sold to a new collection agency and then paid in full can the debts from the old agency be disputed and removed from a credit report?
Yes and no. What the original credit agency should be reporting is that the debt was transferred to a new collector. Once you have proof that the debt was paid in full, you should be able to provide all creditors that are reporting negative info regarding that debt that this is the case and they should mark your records accordingly with a zero balance. It is really entirely up to them as to whether or not they totally remove the entry from your credit report.

Better to pay in full or settle a credit card debt?
In most cases, it is always better to pay the credit card off in full because the payoff is best for your credit rating. If you are able to settle the debt with an agreement that states that the credit card company will not send an adverse action transaction (e.g., chargeoff, workout, etc.) to the credit reporting bureaus, then you are better off settling.
