i had a collection deleted off my reports with the agreement of me paying it fully. it was off for a couple months and now it's back on... without EVER notifying me. my scores dropped about 30-40 points if i remember correctly.
on top of all that, i had just applied for an amex gold rewards plus card and got approved for it AFTER they reinserted the collection back into EQ. then EX reinserted the collection this morning... where Amex checks my credit!
Fair Isaac has continually stated that its impossible for one negative account to cause a serious drop in scoring. This is proof that one negative account CAN and WILL have this effect.

well, this account might be an exceprtion....cuz eventhough its a closed/chargeoff account it still has a HIGH BALANCE 0f 2800 with a orginal CL 0f 500...
so my UTL is very high cuz of this and one more Cap 1 chargeoff/collection account...
also, Cap 1 likes to hit me with a lot of "lates"
but i agree 100+ point drop for one account seems quite excessive...
