Start Paying on All Open Accounts

First you must start Paying your debt, because the main part of your credit score is the payment history. When we miss a payment that’s when most of the damage to our credit score happens. Work on bringing all of your open accounts current.

So at this point paying off the collection item does not actually help your score.  So whether or not you pay your collections off is really a personal decision at this point. So make sure to keep paying on your debt to keep your accounts current and don’t let it go into collection.

Don’t Miss a Payment
