Do collections under $100 impact score?

I have a collection (paid) that is less than $100 on my EQ. CA has agreed to delete it. Will this impact score or are such collections negligible?

Is that your only collection?

TU: 0 collections

EX: one $35 collection (the one that I referenced). CA has agreed to delete

EQ: same $35 collection. Also a $265 paid medical collection that I'm trying to delete

Current MYFICO 8 scores: 

TU: 740

EX: 752

EQ: 693

My understanding is that any time a derog goes on your CR, it counts, no matter what the amount.  It just counts that it occurred.  So a 35 CA counts as much as a 1k CA.

 

I would look for a small increase in scores when it drops.

Collections under $100 appear on your credit report but I don't believe they affect FICO scoring

In Fico 8 yes this would be correct.

Is the threshold exactly 100, so that 99 wouldnt count but higher than 100 would?

 

Just trying to understand it.

 

thanks
