While there's no definitive answer with respect to how many points your credit score may drop after a collection, a collection account is a clear indication that a loan, credit card or retail card was not repaid and payment history is one major contributing factor to your credit score. This can have a negative impact on your credit score.
A recent late payment can drop your credit score about 60 points.

I check my friend's credit score monthly as I manage her finance for her.

Next month the score went up by 13 points and a month after that by another 10 points. Third month after derogatory mark appearing on the credit report, the the score is 4 points lower than it was prior to getting the mark.
Short Answer. Very damaging. I don't know the exact numbers for a charge-off but I do know that FICO recently revealed how their damage points work on some other items. For example, if you have 680 credit score and have a 30 day late payment, your score will drop 60 - 80 points. If your score if 780, it will drop 90 - 110 points. That's quite a bit. And I know that charge offs are viewed much worse.
