Best approach to maximize Charge off and CO?

I'm in the credit repair process. My scores are around 660. I only have one CA from PRA for $252 and it'll fall off this time next year. I have several charge offs some are old and some are still updating and I noticed the balance is in my utilization. Please let me know how you would best handle these in order or if you would let some jusy fall off next year. Thank you. (Also noticed the BofA card CO has diff balances aming CRAs.

Personally I'd pay off that collection ASAP, they do PFD, supposedly it causes you to get off of a public record scorecard to just a dirty scorecard, improving score significantly. I just paid off my last PRA collection once deleted I'll come back to post my score improvement.

Thanks for the tip. And and all advice is welcome. I'm trying to prioritize efforts based upon available capital, which can be tough but also tired of paying 12% interst on a brand new car haha I e heard about the score card however I assumed I was already in a dirty file since I have the charge offs so unsure if collection and charge offs result in separate cases of dirt or if I pay off the only collection I'll still likely remain dirty due to payment history on charge offs or if it's double dirty if not. If that makes sense.

after the collection how do you think I should tackle it? Pay off the ones that update more frequent or large balances or newest account? They will fall off next year but want to have a 720 by time I'm 30

Pay the collection first, then the COs updating monthly. If any accounts are delinquent and close to being COd (as in 120+ days late), I'd pay those before the COs.
