Do you have other bad items reporting other than just collections like charge offs or lates? It’s possible for you to get to 640, but I doubt in 6 months. For one some collection agency might drag their feet when removing from your report after payment is made. I have seen this happen. But you also need some more tradelines reporting in your OWN name. I would say try to open two secured cards one from cap 1 and discover if you have extra money. Store cards won’t give you much of point boost. FICO scores are maximized when you have 3 revolving bank credit cards reporting in your name. Also search member ABCD2199, some of the best information I have read in this forum or online about starting your rebuild. If you follow what he says, good credit is what you will get along with better money management skills all around.
