20 point Jump on lowest score!

My score has been solid at 633 for a while with EX give it take about 2 points. Today I got an email Fromm experian saying a change was detected on my report and to login to see it.

So I login and see my FICO score jumped from 633 to 653 and I'm thinking what happened so I go over to my alerts section and the only thing it shows is a new address reported notification and I'm thinking how does a new address met you 20 points?!

So I manually review every item on my CR and I notice a Collection account deleted I look up and down and even refresh it was gone! I was so happy I got an email from the CA maybe 3 days ago that said they would be closing the account in their office but that it would take a minimum of 5-30 days to show up as removed and even then I was still skeptical they'd delete it because they gave no real reason for their decision to close the account. Either way I'm happy though for the time being all 3 scores are above 650 for the first time ever!

Last year scores were high 400's/low 500's I would honestly contribute a majority of getting me on my rebuild to my student loans. I have about 13 open and they've been the only positive accounts on my report for the last 3 maybe 4 years while I've been in college I think because the government pays the interest while in college it's shown as a payment which created a really good payment history and aged accounts. When I logged into CK in March I noticed a jump in my score from 400's to 545 and I knew from there I could do it I've read many posts here that gave me the guidance and inspiration to get to where I am and hopefully to 700 within the coming months!

Thanks guys Smiley Happy

Congratulations!  Did you initiate any action with the CA before getting the email that they were going to close the account?

Yeah I requested validation but all they sent were papers that said "Previous Balance" which doesn't prove much so I submitted a complaint to CFPB.

Congratulations! I hope to see a similar jump soon with all the collections I took care of.
