Can somebody tell me why my score dropped 61 points after having three collection and charge off accounts removed.
I thought that would be a good thing.
Taking a shot in the dark and not knowing your profile. You lost average age. If they were old accounts it will hurt if the are paid and removed. On the other had them being paid and then they reset its age to current is bad too
It isnt making sense. Where are you seeing this?
I hate to admit it but I'm seeing it on credit karma.
I did the actual dispute through the bureaus websites.
Thank you to anyone who responded
Yea, something's not adding up here, even for crazy VantageScore. You disputed these accounts through the CRAs individual websites, and they were removed? Were they legitimate debts, bc they're most likely coming right back to your reports if they were...fresh and newly updated. We're going to need a little more info to figure out what caused your score loss though.

From Experian
"What Happens When You Close an Account?"
Closing a credit account or paying off a loan can impact your credit scores in several ways. However, people commonly misunderstand how and when a closed account will impact age-related scoring factors. This may be because it depends on the type of credit score and the scoring model analyzing the information.
Why - would a collection account, negatively impact a score when it is removed, and because it is not a lender/creditor?
A negative/debt collector account - deleted, doesn't seem to allow for a reduction.
No, the removal of a collection account shouldn't result in a score decrease. We're not getting the whole story here.
So here's the screenshot of the report.
Oh and thank you everyone for your responses I greatly appreciate it.
