In order to repair an account you need to have the part of the account which is derogatory deleted. For example, If you have an account with a late payment, that late payment would either have to be removed or repaired for the account to become positive.
Here are some tools to get this accomplished:
1. Goodwill intervention
2. Late payment validation
3. Escalated info request
4. FTC Complaint followed by another late payment validation
You can either do this all yourself or you may hire a Credit Repair Company to do this for you.
No, once a collection agency relinquishes their claim to the account by selling it they must remove all negative trade lines related to that account from your credit reports. Hope this helps ST
It shows as a paid collection. Still a negative thing but shows you did settle account.
The original account with a normal credit company went to a third party collection agency. Only after it went to the collection agency was the debt paid and then the account closed.
== == Collection account are 20% of the total credit score module.
The information on the credit report is available up to seven years, both positive and negative. Some collection agencies though can fulfill your request to remove a negative collection in return for a full payment and a lot of people have done this despite it being illegal. The best that you can do to balance out a negative collection is to improve on other aspects of your report.

Yes, because by doing that you are converting a Negative on your credit history to a Positive action. Those who look at a credit report are looking to see if you are making efforts to "turn things around." Paying a collection does NOT improve your credit and may, under certain circumstances, cause even more deductions to your credit score. This is one of the fallacies about credit. The factor that causes the largest amount of deductions to scores is when a derogatory account was last reported to the bureaus, not the amount owed or the status (paid or unpaid). A paid collection account can be just as damaging as an unpaid collection. The first answer was incorrect. The only thing that will improve your credit rating is to have the collection removed from your credit report. Offer to pay the collection in exchange for a deletion.
While there's no definitive answer with respect to how many points your credit score may drop after a collection, a collection account is a clear indication that a loan, credit card or retail card was not repaid and payment history is one major contributing factor to your credit score. This can have a negative impact on your credit score.

No. Negative entries concerning all creditor debts remain on the consumer's credit report for the required 7 years.
The effects of negative credit items depend on the nature of the item (credit card, foreclosure, collection account) as well as the severity of the item (30 day delinquency vs. charge-off). Additionally, the presence of other accounts, both positive and negative, will adjust the impact that a single negative item has on your credit score. One final variable that also affects how a single negative item impacts your score is the overall length of your credit history. A single negative item could cause your score to drop 3 points or 150. It really depends on each situation.
Absolutely. Repossession, whether voluntary or involuntary, show on your credit report as a charged off account. This designation is similar to a collection account and shows that you did not repay the vehicle loan. Such a listing in your credit report would have a significant negative impact.
No! ###### Yes if they have permissable perpose to do so (ie: Collection On Your Account)
No it is not good. Any negative entry on your credit reports is a bad thing and can affect your score.
