I never knew this could happen, but I paid a recent collection, so it's showing a zero balance, and received an 8 point increase. I thought I would only get an increase if it was totally removed. I am working with them to get this and a couple others removed, so this is good to know.

You dont get Fico point increases for paying a collection (one that still remains on file), something else is responsible for the increase and the collection balance changing was just the trigger for the score update.
