That's impossible to predict. The algorythm that runs the financial data is proprietary and too complicated to accurately forecast an outcome. The best medicine is, as usual, preventive. If you deal with the original creditor at the onset of financial difficulty you can usually avoid the collection agencies.

How many points score your fico score when is delete collection?

If you meant to say, How many points are added to your FICO score if a collection account is deleted" then there is no specific answer. There is no set number of points added if a collection is deleted. The FICO credit scoring model prior to generating a credit score drops everyone into currently 10 scorecards. Each scorecard is a credit scoring model in it's own right. Each model adds or subtracts a different number of points depending on which scorecard that you are in. Each scorecard has a different scoring range too. It also depends on how recent, and how many collections you have. After you have a certain number of collections reporting, there is no additional penalty for having more collections reporting on your credit.

How many points will your credit score increase after a debt collection is paid in full?

No immediate rise in credit score points will take place. Over time, perhaps a couple years, it may start to rise again.

Once debt free, you have to regain your credit, and that happens by not going in debt and paying all your bills on time for a good period of time - this establishes your credit worthiness.

How many points will your credit go up when you pay off an old bill?

THERE ARE ALOT FACTORS INVOLVED WHEN POINTS ARE ADDED UNTO YOUR CREDIT SCORE. IF YOU PAY OFF AN OLD BILL YOU CAN RECIEVE ANWHERE FROM 15-20 POINTS ADDED UNTO YOUR CREDIT SCORE. If by the term "old bill" you mean a collection account, then paying it off may not raise your score at all. Credit scoring software disregards the balance (or lack of) on a collection account. The fact that the account is in default PLUS the "date last reported" are what cause deductions to the score. So if this "old bill" had not been recently updated and you pay it, causing it to be updated NOW to reflect a zero balance; you may have just significantly harmed your score.
