Will $69 medical bill collection from 3 years ago still hurt my score?

I had a dispute with a dental office for srewing up my teeth, they went ahead and filed me to collection for a $69 bill. That was 3.5 years ago...

My credit dropped significantly after that of course.

 

Now, this stinky collection still hangs around on my report even though I paid it off right away after it entered collection, I am wondering if this still hurt me a lot if I need to obtain a mortgage?

 

Many thanks for any help...

Hi Kitty and welcome to myFICO.

 

If you'd like I could move this over to the Mortgage Loans board and let the gurus over there help you. Let me know what you want to do. It might be better there since you are asking about a possible roadblock to getting a house
