Not sure how much of an impact but a lot of lates falling off will have a positive impact on your score. That good news. Congrats! Equifax too! Wow, I'm shocked because they can be difficult.
I think it surely should have! Congrats on your success!
When I got my lates removed from Nelnet, it shifted them into satisfactory accounts/ accounts in good standing. I got a decent 20+ point boost, because they were reporting 90 and 120 day lates, from 2 years ago. I don't know how much you can expect, but the decrease in adverse accounts and increase in good standing ones may help more than the actual lates being removed or updated.
Good work!
