Will it make a difference to an under writer if you have a paid collection that says that it is "settled" rather than "paid in full"? I am hoping to apply for a USDA loan very soon.

It depends on the UW and or policies.
You would prefer it to say PAID IN FULL, but in reality settled should be surfice with USDA UW.
See if they will delete if you pay the rest.
Settled is good enough for the vast majority. What matters is that it is taken care of and a judgement and resulting lein on the property aren't concerns.
I work for a Mortgage company and it all depends on what desktop underwriting says--Du= Fannie Mae or DO is Freddie Mac. The first thing we do after pulling credit is run a file to see what is required. There are various factors that go into this.
