What will my credit report show if I choose to settle an old credit card account with a debt collector?

Kevin V asked:


I would like to settle a few closed credit accounts that have been charged off and bought out by debt collectors. The collection agency is offering me a discounted rate to pay off this account. If I choose this option, will my credit report eventually show this account closed and paid off, as stated by the agency?
