How could I remove ststus Charge-Off from my credit report. The account was settled and paid, with a zero balance.

A charge-off account will remain in your credit report for 7 years and it'll show as delinquent for 7 1/2 years. You need to contact the original creditor and inform him about this negative item on your credit report. You need to ask him politely to report the account as paid in full to the credit bureaus in order to drop the charge off account from credit report.

Welcome to the forums!!!
Any kind of negative item will remain on your credit report for 7 years from the date of your first default. You may make a written request to your CA to remove this item from your credit report and update your account status as “Settled Charge-off”.

Depends when you settled your account. It generally stays for around 7 years from the date of your first default.
