How do you raise a 510 credit score and have nothing in collections?
By paying your bills on time. Also just waiting bad credit only stays on your report for 7 years
If paid will old charge off accounts with small balances raise your credit score?
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.
Is it better to have an account removed from your credit report completely or to negotiate for 'Paid As Agreed'?
In the case of a collection account, it is always in your best interest to have the tradeline completely removed from your credit report as opposed to having it show paid. If the account is NOT a collection or P&L, then the opposite may be true. Let's say you have a credit card with 6 late payments being reported to your credit history. You negotiate with your creditor to have all the late payments removed from the tradeline, showing that it has been paid as agreed, never late. This would be better then to have the entire tradeline removed, as the now clean payment history will help to raise your FICO score. Having it removed will not have as positive an effect. You will lose all the credit history associated with the tradeline, as well as (if it is a revolving account), available credit. Not having sufficient credit history can be just as detrimental as having bad credit. Hope this helps!
Will removing an authorized account that has a high balance raise the fico score of the authorized user?
It depends. Does the high balance put the consumer into a position of too much credit? Does this single high balance cause the consumer to have outstanding $100,000 in credit card debt? Or does the amount merely allow for the consumer to show that they can be responsible with making regular payments (with this account being the only debt owed.)
What cause the inflated budgeted expense account?
raise or expand abnormally or improperly
How do you raise your credit score after paying a collection company?

Will paying off a credit card account closed by the grantor raise your credit score?
No but if you pay it off before it becomes delinquient it won't hurt it either. WRONG! speaking from experience, yes. if the account is NOT charged-off, but listed as CLOSED, it will raise your score if you lower or pay off the balance. I have a closed (NOT charged-off) CC that had a balance of 2400 and I made a payment of 1700. once posted to my reports, they were raised an average of 37 points. A few weeks later i paid off another closed CC, it was a small payment of 183 which satisfied the account (zero balance). Once posted, 17point increase! I pay close attention to my reports and use several monitoring websites, so i know there were no other changes that contributed to the increase other than the payments mentioned. people on the net are correct about paying off/down a CHARGED-OFF (collections) account will not raise your score. But, a closed account is completely different! Hope this helps
How can one raise their credit score?

In a word-nounfortunately, closed accounts will remain AA a negative against yr credit score even though you pay them off on time. after 5 yrs, your credit records should not contain this neg. info., however. Simply opening a new account will not raise your score, only consistent on-time payments of an account will help in that respect.

Fingerhut will often approve people who can't get approved for other credit, so credit scores as low as 600 or lower might be approved.
