Re: Advise

How old are the collections? Usually the score hit starts dropping the older it gets. Are you planning on settling with the collections agencies? What is your credit score now? How many credit cards do you have right now? Is your utilization under 30%?

 

My point being, there are a lot of factors that affect your score that would be able improved depending on where the pain points are and how recently they occurred Smiley Happy

Hi and welcome @Anonymous 

 

Who are your collections with? How old are they? Do you have charge offs associated with these collections? Are they medical? 

 

We need a little bit more information from you before attempting to advise you on how to proceed

Both Portfolio and Calvary will delete after collections are paid
