    Does anybody know on average how many points a collection will deduct from your credit score(s) ?

    Thanks .

    I just checked my scroe with Equifax through privacyguard.com . A collection on there that I sent a validate letter to is now missing (30 days later) . The score went up 7 points with the collection gone .
    Though I dunno if that is a good way to compare .

    The same CA is still reporting to TU and Exp , I just got done drafting a 2nd Validation letter to them . My first was delivered 30 days agi and signed for CMRR . I may wait a couple more days to see if it is removed before sending this letter out . If I get them to remove the TL , Im going after the OC to prevent it from showing again .

    In fact , I guess I should send a letter to the OC now ?
    I am new at this (sort of) and and been reading all I can but it gets hard to remember all of it :)

    Nice , if they put something incorrect on there and it's removed ... it still hurts .

    Why has a class action suit not been brought up to stop the use of "scores" ?

    because that would make SENSE, thats why!!!!!

    LOL! "scoring" should be illegal because it is inaccurate. in the years i have been underwriting, i never trust a score to tell me if the customer is good risk. i have rarely had a loss occur on my files - even the ones that "score low".

    =================
    1*Inaccurate is an understatement. Scoring like all other shell games and con jobs should be illegal.
    2*Credit scores don't tell anyone what type of risk a customer may or may not be.
    3*OK so if there is virtually no difference between losses on people with good scores and those with bad scores then what is the purpose of scoring?

    : Re: How many score

    How many points will be deducted from your score once collection is posted depends on few factors:

    - amount sought to be collected
    - type of collection
    - which credit agency, etc EQ, TU, EX

    Your score can lower as many as 30-35 points, but if this is a medical bill type of stuff, lenders don't care much, especially A- and B/C

    Also, once you pay your collection, your score may go even lower initially, I guess guilt admittance
