WOW I am not sure. Especially if they were totally removed from your report. Are you sure they were removed ? I will let someone else take a stab at this because I just can't see why it didn't go up.

oops Sometimes this thing posts before I am ready. Please copy your report and keep it in a safe place. It is good to have it for a reference or keep track in case any creditor tries to change any dates on it. Hopefully you will see a rise in your score soon.

Did some positive fall off as well? Are there inquiries on your report? There are many things that could have done this that may have nothing to do with the old debt.

Check out the inquiries, you can easily have these removed.

If you are talking about how to get your report it is free at www.annualcreditreport.com. Three free pulls a year. Other than that If you are talking about how to get inquires off your report...you can dispute them.

What happened is that the scoring module which is the computer system that shoots out these credit scores was immune to these negative credit marks. So it was not even taking them into consideration since they have been paid and not to mention that they were old. You must understand that anything older than a year does not really get looked at by the scoring module. When you went in and removed these accounts it caused a minor wave and could have caused an upset with the scoring system. Removing old negative marks to increase credit scores is one of the biggest misconception here in the U.S. when it comes to the credit world.
Also, how many more bad marks do you have reporting vs. good positive tradelines????
If you would like to increase your credit scores fast and bring them back to the 600's perhaps the 700's you must go to www.AttractiveCreditSecrets.com

I am no a pro or an expert.

Removing any negative information is extremly important if not scorewise than manual review wise. I do not think this a misconcept.

IMHO, your score dropped because you enterd different bucket or pool or different category of customers and score should recover pretty fast.

Good Luck.

I agree, I think your report has to have time to recover and reorganize if that makes sense, I think if you give it a little while that you will soon see the increase that you are anticipating. Let us know what happens.

I would try not to check it all the time. It won't effect your score but checking it all the time will just make you more anxious to see a change that needs time to take place.

Yeah, you need to give yourself a break, give your report some time to change. Your mistakes did not happen overnight and neither will credit repair.
