that is totally not true, just found out!!! by law "its supose to NOT hurt your score", that changed in 2009, that if you paid off an old collection, it couldnt lower your score any longer. i just paid off two collections a month ago and my score dropped. i JUST got off the phone with a Fico rep whom told me other wise , that it CAN still lower your score because its new activity. so bottom line, even FICO doesnt know what the hell is going on!
