What is worse a tax lien or a collection on a credit report?
A tax lien will affect your credit the same way other type of default or past due unpaid bill. The presence of a tax lien is considered a delinquent, unpaid account, and it will lower your credit score. Keep in mind that a loan officer physically looking at your credit report will give more weight to a collections account than a tax lien. This is because a collection account is related to an actual lender you applied for credit and did not pay as agreed. It is best to read up on this matter and I like Phil Turner's book titled the Credit Bible for tips on solving collection accounts. titled the Credit Bible for tips on solving collection accounts.
Will paying a collection agency improve your overall credit rating?
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.
Your credit score is 563 and you just paid off 4 collection charges on your credit report how will that effect your credit score?
Not much other than having the collection marked from unpaid to paid. If you are paying off credit collection companies, negotiate to get a letter from them telling you that the amount you are paying is the balance as agreed and that they will remove it from your credit report. Do not pay until you get that letter. If you pay without doing that, it will stay on your credit report for about 3 years depending on when the collection was first put on your credit report. The fact that you paid it already just says on your credit report that instead of unpaid the collection is marked as paid. If you already paid either repair your credit or get a reputable firm in the BBB who has a money-back guaranteed policy.
