For those out there wondering the impact of collections on your mortgage score.  I paid for delete on 2 collections 3/5/21 and this morning my FICO4 went up 115 points and FICO2 120.  Following advice on here, I went from marginal or no chances in securing a mortgage to mainstream.  Read the advice

 

                     09/20/20       03/26/21

FICO2                582               748

FICO4                571               762

FICO5                601               640 (Hasn't updated in 2 months)


Very Nice .. Huge Jump in score!

Thank you for sharing your situation, I find myself in the same place. what is the process to pay for the deletion? I have 2 student loan accounts that were closed in 2015 but are noted as negative accounts due to 5 late payments. They are still showing up on my account as negative and impacting the mortgage score. How can i have those accounts deleted, they have since been closed and student loans are paid off. 

 

I am applying for a mortgate and need help to get my  Equifax and Transunion score higher

Experian 801

Transunion 732

Equifax 735

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

@Anonymous you have provided valuable advice to others, would you be able to assist me with this?

@Anonymous Pay for delete is an arrangement that you make with a debt collector; it doesn't typically happen with an original creditor. Sounds like you have an original creditor account. Is that correct?

 

if so, as I stated, you can do the goodwill saturation technique and basically ask them to remove the lates. As long as the account is current meaning it has no balance owed, the lates will age off, when were they?

 

Best thing you can do I was trying to Goodwill saturation technique and ask them to remove the account or the lates. And implement AZEO. If you'd like to get more specific, start a thread and ping me and you can give me your details and we can look more closely.

On EX and TU the avg age of accounts is 4 yrs 4 months

No loans just 3 revolvers

Age of youngest card is 1 year 8 months

Oldest account (1 card) was opened 4/2014

All other closed accounts have aged off

 

FICO 8 SCORES For Comparison

EX 715

TU 775

EQ 639

 

I should have also mentioned that the collections the I PFD were from ~feb-may 2018

 

I have a series of 30d and 60d during a layoff period in 2018, last was Dec 2018.

 

What's also funny is that when i paid the collections, i didn't even have to ask for PFD, they sent me a letter in advance.  Both said that it was due to Covid policies.

 


@Anonymous OK for the mortgage Scores I'm gonna say I believe you're probably clean/thin/mature and it's hard to say on that last segmentation point cuz you're right near where we think the point is. As a matter fact, do you have new account negative Reason Codes? For 5/4/2?

 

i'll tell you what though, I would try the goodwill saturation technique for your lates as well. Got nothing to lose on that. implement AZEO. You're somewhere right around that new account threshold.
