collection accounts

I have several collection accounts that are due to fall off my credit report in Sept/Oct of this year.  Is it worth a GW letter to ask the creditor (or do you write to the bureau) to please remove them early?  I think it would really make my score go up when those are gone.

Re: collection accounts

GW any paid collection to whoever is reporting, not the CRAs.
