Question

I have some paid off collections on my credit report. Can i get them removed>

Answer 1

Doubtful, but you can try.  Write a letter stating that the account is paid and request that it be removed.  The worst that can happen is that they deny the request.  

Answer 2

The time to have done that was when you paid them off.

Without a pay for delete agreement the only way for them to be removed is for them to age off your report.

Per the Fair Credit Reporting Act derogatory accounts show for 7-years from the date of first delinquency.

Answer 3

nope not until it falls off
