How can i raise my credit score if i have 6 accounts in collections and i am paying on a student loan?
…it seems like going through a Debt Settlement, or consolidation, or negotiation is something I can do on my own, i’m just not sure if this will raise my credit score if all my accounts are 2 years past due and I have no current open accounts. I can’t even get approved for an unsecured credit card to boost my credit score. Please Help!
Please do not listen to most of the information here. If you have many old collection accounts and pay them off, it will not help your credit score! Unless these accounts are still listed as ‘rev’ then paying them off can only hurt your credit score for the most part. Paying old accounts will re-age them and they will look like they are recent accounts because the dla (date of last activity) will be updated to the month and year you paid off the collection. The only thing that can really help your credit now is time and/or trying to get the collections removed from your credit report.
Reduce your debt With Debt Settlement or debt consolidation.

Fight Back Against Unfair Debt Collection Practices $17.99 This year, America's enormous, poorly regulated debt collection industry will make more than 1,000,000,000 collection calls. They will threaten. They will lie and mislead. They will intimidate. Over the past five years, they've racked up more than 300,000 complaints to the Federal Trade Commission: more than any other industry regulated by the FTC. Financial reporter Fred Williams knows more about the industry than anyone else. Not only has investigated America's debt collection agencies, he spent three months working for one of the largest firms in the business. In Fight Back Against Unfair Debt Collection Practices Williams reveals what he learned and shows you exactly how to fight back and protect your rights. Williams weaves indispensable practical advice together with stories straight from his collection agency cubicle. You'll learn what to do first if a collector calls; what collectors can and can't do; which debts you are and aren't responsible for; how collectors choose accounts to focus on; how to stop harassing or abusive calls; how to keep the advantage in a negotiation for a lucrative debt settlement; even how to take the offensive with a lawsuit that can halt collection and win yourself a $1,000 penalty! |
