Collection Accounts point loss

[Anonymous]

Hey All

I had a 33 point score loss when a collection account for US Cellular hit my bureaus.  Anyone else notice any point loss for derogs that they would care to share?  I think this could give all of us a base score loss in case this happens to either of us.

Thanks

I just took a 21 point hit for a collection account that was added to my credit as a result of id theft.  the interesting thing is, i just had 8 collection accounts deleted from my credit (result of the id tehft too) but my score only increased 3 points.  doesn't quite seem right.  i think it is b/c the ones deleted were from 2005-2006 (and i am still trying to clean up).

Yeah, that could be it.  Thanks for responding.

Yes, I also had a collection for only $305 show up on my credit report for a Dr. bill.  It lowered my credit about 25 points.  Right now it shows not paid.  I wonder if my score will go up once it is paid?

I don't know, but if you pay it and see and increase in your score, please keep us posted.

Thanks
