Paying off a deliquent account does effect your credit score, it may take awhile to show up, could be 5 or 6 months. As to the points my guess if this was the only negative it would be 25 or likely higher.

Hi, if you get a letter stating they are no longer collecting on this account and it can be deleted, you can forward this to the 3 major reporting agencies. It may come off all together but you will have to work hard to get that letter. It can increase your scores in as little 3 months if you have plenty of other open and active good trade lines with balances under 50% of the high credit limit.

Dude,
Listen carefully: pay it off as soon as possible, preferably today! If you knew anything about credit ratings, you'd know that delinquent accounts cause the worst damage. Good luck.

It probably won't go up at all - maybe a little but chances are it won't. Time is about the only thing that can really help.

i don't know exactly, but your credit's already a mess with a delinquent account, you can't erase that
