The damage is the same for a charge off whether it's paid off or not unfortunately. Your score will not change. You'll need to try and get it completely removed to see a score increase.
From a BK years ago to:
7/09 TU-742 EQ- 779
8/09 TU-765 EQ- 783
9/09 EX pulled by lender 802

You can do the same thing with hard work

Re: chargeoff

The only thing I will add that if it was an OC charge off, once paid, the amount will no longer be in your overall revolving utilization, which is a good thing.
