So I just PIF'd an OC who recalled the account from the CA. As of today it is gone from all 3 CRA. Just ordered a (EQ) report from (here) and it definatetly does not show up on the report but my score has not changed.
Whats odd is that this was a recentl collection (from 2011) for $195. I would have thought I'd seen some kind of a jump???
From what I've learned it takes a little while for the score to be adjusted after a removal. Funny how as soon as baddie is on the account your score drops 80 points quick, but after YOU pay they take forever to inch back up. Hang in there it will pop up when you least expect it.
The score is formulated off of the data whithin the report when you pull it. If an account is removed it's gone, there is no memory of it score wise.
OP, was this your only collection account? If you have multiple collections you may not see a significant bump until the last one is removed.
I would guess you have more than one collection?
I got one collection deleted and my score didn't budge at all either. Not a single point.. lol
My last one should be gone soon too, but I'll be really disappointed if there's no score increase with both collections gone..
