Does having negative information drop from your credit report when the time limit has ran out boost your credit score automatically?

Yes. But probably not by much. The reason has to do with the configuration of credit scoring software. Credit scores places the most emphasis, 35%, on what has occured recently (within the last 12 mos). So, information so old that it is "dropping off" is not causing much of a deduction anyway. However, the deduction that is being generated would be gone once the data falls off. Even if this is only a few points, yes, your score would recover those points.

No, having a negative balance in an unused checking account will not directly affect your credit rating. However, if you fail to pay off the negative balance and the account is sent to collections, that could potentially have a negative impact on your credit rating.

Anytime a negative item is removed from your credit report, it will raise your credit score unless new collections are added to your report.
Will having no credit cards or outstanding loans improve a credit rating over time or is having at least one account that is current better?
You have to have credit in order to have a credit history and a credit score. Every consumer needs at least one installment account and two revolving accounts that are managed properly for optimal points during the calculation that produces a credit score. It can be harder to get the credit you need, such as a mortgage loan, with no credit history than when a borrower has bad credit. Also, if a consumer has bad credit; positive, ongoing,accounts will offset the negative information.

How can you get a zero as your credit score?
Typically, if you see a "zero" or nothing as a credit score it is due to the consumer having no credit or not having any positive credit that would contribute to the scoring system. A consumer can have nothing but negative credit on their report and this would not generate a score. A score is normally generated when the consumer has had a loan and/or credit card history.
