With your credit score, you can buy a house now. The rate will be high.
If you pay back the debts, the score will go up a little each month as the former delinquency gets older. It will go up, also, because your total debt will be a smaller percent of your total account limits.
When considering the amount to lend you, the lender will consider your total indebtedness. It is here that you get the real benefit of paying off the debt.

If the bad debts are in collection without a promise in writing from the collections agencies, or those you owe the money to that upon payment in full they will be removed from your credit rating, they will remain there for 7 years. If they do not agree paying them will not improve your credit score at all. In addition with today's market and the tightening of credit hope you are not looking for 100%. Your will need some down, and have closing costs already in the bank when you apply.

No, if those things are more than 2 years old, it may actually lower your score. What could get your score up in about 60 days is an add a tradeline program. I used it and got a 90 point bump. www.totaldebtsolutionsllc.com They have a free evaluation form and will call you with more free info after you fill it out. Good luck.

Go to http://www.myfico.com/. This is the site for the FICO score, which is used by more banks and lenders.
There is plenty of information there about your credit score and what affects it.
