Do collections really fall off after 7 years?

Yes. Under the FCRA, collections must be removed from your credit report 7 years after the date of first delinquency on the original account. This date does not change if the debt is sold to a new collector or if you make a partial payment.

Does paying a collection restart the 7-year clock?

No. The 7-year reporting period is based on the date of first delinquency on the original account, and paying the collection does not reset this clock. However, making a payment can restart the statute of limitations for lawsuits in some states, which is a separate issue.

Can a collection agency put the same debt back on my report?

A new collection agency that buys the debt can report it, but the 7-year clock still starts from the original date of first delinquency. If the original item already fell off, a new collector cannot legally re-report it with a different date.

Should I pay old collections that are about to fall off?

Generally no. If a collection is within 6 to 12 months of the 7-year mark, paying it provides little benefit under FICO 8 and could restart the statute of limitations for lawsuits. Let it fall off naturally unless a lender specifically requires it for approval.
