Probably not significantly if at all. Even if they are paid the entry will remain on your report for the maximum 7 years.

There are some circumstances under which paying off an older charge off/collection will lower your score, not raise it. The determining factor is when the account was "last reported" (by the creditor) to the bureau. If updated within the past 12 months, the account is having a significant impact on your score and paying it off does no damage. If, however, the account has not been reported recently - paying it causes it to be updated to NOW, thus bringing the date within that critical 12-month time frame. This date (reporting date or "status" date) is the date that causes deductions to your score when coupled with derogatory data, like the charge off notation.

If you get a charge off deleted from your credit report will it dramatically raise your score or is it worth it?

If there are no other negative items on your credit report, and depending on other small variables, it will be a dramatic (50-100) point increase.

How do you raise your credit score without credit cards?

You have to have active accounts in order to have a credit score. Your credit score can reflect your payments history on installment loans. Pay whatever accounts you have in a timely manner. Control and limit inquiries. Stay away from finance companies. Your score will not be as high as someone who has revolving credit accounts and manages them well. But you will have a score that reflects how you manage the credit you do have. If you have a mortgage, car payment, school loans, and sometimes even cell phone or utility bills that you pay on time, that will raise your credit score.

If you pay off or make a payment arrangement with at least seven of 15 charge-off accounts this year and you are paying off two good credit cards how much will this raise your credit?

It will help, but the problem is you still have a history of more than a dozen charge cards and mutliple charge-offs, which are a black mark on your credit. You score won't rise much at all until the debts begin to fall off your report in seven years.


How can you raise your credit score quick?

The fastest way to raise your credit score is to pay off all of your outstanding credit card debts and any non-collateralized personal loans. After two (2) months, the status of zero balances across many products will raise your credit score. Now, if your credit score is low because of missed payments, judgments, writeoffs, etc., doing the above will raise your score, but not to a level where you will find it easy to obtain new credit instruments.


If you paid off three out of four of your credit card accounts how many points will this raise your credit score?

Maybe a lot, maybe none. Your credit scores are calculated based on ALL the information in your credit file at the time they are requested, not just these four accounts. Were all accounts paid as agreed? What were the dates the accounts were opened? What available credit did you have prior to closing 3 and how much available credit do you have now? Were the accounts delinquent? Do you have any other existing open accounts? What are the dates those were open? As you can see, the pieces of information fit together in a very complex way. One piece of data affects several others and can alter the whole equation. Once again, that is what a credit score is, a computation based on the accounts you have open.
