No, not immediately. At first your scores will be lowered as you just gave a bad debt a more current date. If you are trying to raise your scores for a mortgage, I suggest you leave these alone til the mortgage closing and the two are paid then. If you are just cleaning up your credit, your scores will start to rise about 3 months after they are paid. The scores will go up every month after til you are at the level you should be depending on the open credit you have now
