My latest update over only one month
EX 633 to 683 +50 (still waiting for IRS Tax Lien to be removed)
TU 628 to 774 +146
EQ 623 to 758 +135
my score from March
Pulled today
So im going to buy a jet ski today and will be placing a security freeze on my EX since its not fixed just yet.
Here is the Twist!
I got a collection letter from Niagara credit solutions for a past debt (judgment) that has long fallen off all my CRs long ago, and it’s becoming a yearly thing that they contact me. I have no Baddies left on my CR besides the Lien which will be removed.
What should I do about the collection letter?
I'm assuming paying it before it hits your credit isn't an option?
They never did anything last year when they tried the same thing.
What's the DOFD?? That's most important. If it is outside the 7 year 180 day reporting period and your state's SOL, it's on you if you decide to pay it. If it can still be reported, and you can afford to pay it, pay it. Even if it was removed they can easily sell it to another agency and then the new collection agency can reinsert it on your reports.
In my experience, if they are SPing you, they may intend to collect when they see your scores improving - so check that too if you have recent full reports. I had a LOT of stuff come out the woodwork once I started making gains and getting derogs removed. So beware.

What should I do about the collection letter?
I'd try to put it to bed with an 'expired statute of limitations letter' - google for examples
Is the judgement still enforceable?
If so, the judgment creditor could, at any time, seek a writ ordering specific satisfaction of the judgment, such as by attachment of assets or garnishment of pay.
I would not ignore a judgment simply because it is not showing in your credit report......

What site are you pulling your scores from? Does not look like MyFico?

Dofd is irrelevant here. Judgements are enforceable for 10 years upon entering of the judgement. (In some states it is 20, and I believe most states the judgement can be renewed until it is collected or voided.)
How'd you accomplish this jump in one month? I am trying to follow your story and cant see where you started . . .
