Once the CRA deletes it, it is my understanding that the CA can't resubmit it as the CRA has done this independently of the CA and does not alert them to this. This was done as GW gesture by the CRA and what good is such a gesture if the derogatory item were to just come back? Hope you get a nice boost from it.
Congrats!! Having negative items come off you report is truly a thing of joy. I've been in the lab for about 5 months cleaning up the credit of my wife and myself and everything that comes off calls for a champagne toast lol. It really is nice to be able to move on with your financial life and no longer be held back by poor choices from almost a decade ago.

FICO makes absolutely no darn sense and nobody can explain as to why this happened. This morning I was 642 and now at 632 after the collection removal. It was my last collection!!!!! I am so ready to throw in the towel with this credit repair garbage
Was it your last baddie, or no?
Likely rebucketing if nothing has changed on your reports. It sucks in the short term, but it means your ceiling has suddenly gotten much higher. You'll get those 10 points back plus more, just keep at it. Rebuilding is a true test of patience and mental fortitude. You got this.
Yes, it means that the highest FICO score you can achieve with your profile has likely gone up. If your previous ceiling was 680, now say it's 700 (just an example). No one can be 100% sure, as the formula is a bit of a mystery, but that's likely the culprit.
Focus on the utilization and GW the hell out of that paid CO. Capital One is a tough nut to crack (they've haunted me for 6.5+ years), but it's worth the effort. You'll get a solid bump if you can get either or both of those COs removed.
