Credit rebound-$300 Collections

Hello All Looking for a little info on rebounding my credit score.

 

I had a credit score of 781 and a unpaid dentist bill went to collections causing my score to drop 104!

 

My credit history. I have a mortgage. Have 3 credit cards with a total of around 45k available credit. The balance on them in normally less than 500 total. No other debts or loans. Basically I try and pay for things only using credit cards then pay them off that month. This is my first negative tick on my report. Im 27. Had my own credit card since age 18.

 

Any ideas on how fast my score will rebound.  I have seen a uptick of 6 points after I paid it. Should I just expect increase each month? I am new to rebuilding a score.

 

I had plans on starting a Small business within the next year. So Im trying to have as good of a score as possible.

Did you just pay it or did you do a PFD?  If you just paid and it is still on your CR start sending them GW letters to remove. Who is it with?

This is the company. Metro Check of Colorado. I just paid it. I honestly did not know any better. Would have PFD if I would have known it just stays on their. First time offender so I plead ignorance.

 

What is a GW and how does it work?

Its just you send them a good will letter. In the letter you basically ask them to remove from all your credit files. be nice. remind them that you have paid the full balance and u ask of them to remove from your credit file.
