How much does removal of paid collections help your score?

I paid Convergent Outsourcing off in February this, a pay for deletion, but it is still on my report today. What should I do next?

DId they agree in writing to delete?  I'd start by contacting them and asking them to resend their deletion request to the CRAs.

Thanks for the great input from the few posters who have watched their own Collections fall off. It's good feedback. Sounds like there's a range in terms of actual score bump, but definitely shedding this stuff is going to be of high benefit all around. :-)
