It depends upon what "original status" you are referring to.
Account reporting reflects the status of numerous things. Some are historical, some are not.
The Current Status is, for example, only a snapshot of the account status as of the last ("current") time of reporting.
It can be either a derogatory or non-derogatory status.
An account, whiile delinquent, has a Current Status at some level of delinquency, such as 30/60/90/120/150+ days late, or charged-off.
However, once paid or returned to pays as agreed status, the Current Status will no longer be once or delinquency, but can reference the status just prior, such as "Paid, was 120 late." That is required, and thus you do not have to make a request for voluntary update of the Current Status.
Once the Current Status is returned to one or non-delinquency, the prior status, called the Payment Rating, retains the delinquency status that existed prior to its new Current Status. Each derog is also retaned by its date under the Payment History Profile. All of those current and prior status reportings collectively are still available.
It does not matter whether you make payment directly to the creditor or through their assigned debt collector. The reporting of each party untimately ends up the same....current status updated by the OC as well as the debt balance of $0, and the collection updated to closed, paid,, $0 balance.
