I need to emphasize that this was my ONLY baddie, and the scores went up to 780-790 (except EX - the dreaded "Heloc is a CC" effect). So it was a big hit on a high potential score.

I am not, for a second, disputing your experience, I just find it amazing that the drop of a collection derog that has already aged for 6 years can result in a decrease in its impact of anywhere near 50 points once it is dropped from the CR at 7 years!If others have similar experiences, then this really, really emphasizes the high importance of cleaning up improper collections! Once again, Wow!Thanks for the sharing the experience.
