That’s because when your debt is sent to collections, you will see a new record appear on your credit report. This collection record normally remains on your credit report for seven years from the last 180-day late payment on the original account, whether or not you’ve paid the debt back. In the event that your original account is also on your credit report, both account records will remain on your report for seven years.
