Yes and no, from a credit scoring perspective.
No, because civil suits and judgments remain in your CR for 7 years from their date of entry, not date paid. FCRA 605(a)(2).
Yes, because, while it wont help in FICO scoring, a showing that you paid the debt and it is now considered as satified will make you look much, much better upon any manual review of your CR.
