Welcome to the forums!!!
Usually negative items remain on your credit report for 7 years from the date of our first default. You may make a written request to the collection agencies to remove that item from your credit report. But it depends on their discretion whether or not to accept your request. You may also request them to update your account status as “Paid-in-full”.
