I paid all collections with the understanding that it would be fully removed from my credit report. As a result, my credit score increased by 65 points.

I paid all of my collections. My credit score went up 33 points! Once I decided that I wanted to become a homeowner, I did everything that I could to make that happen. I didn’t want the collections to come back and bite me on the you know what! I started getting serious about buying a house in March 2020 when the pandemic first started. My stimulus checks went toward my collection debt and went into savings. I became a homeowner in June 2021. Everyone’s situation is different, but for me paying the collections gave me a peace of mind.

My collections were removed from my credit after I paid them off, and my score increased.

You're amazing! So smart and well explained, love it!

Excellent instruction, with specifics I always wondered about but never knew how to articulate things. I've avoided handling my credit issues for years because I simply didn't have the money, or understand the process. I've known people who paid but still had people calling to collect the same debt, and others who never had the blemishes removed. You've given me the confidence to look into this stuff... Thank you ma'am...

I had a collection debt which dropped my score 100 points. Negotiated the price & it was deleted, score went back up.

Thank you Shaheedah. This is really helpful! Years ago I allegedly had a University debt go into collections, and I'm wondering if it was truly even mine. I paid if off immediately, but if I had seen a video like yours, I would have followed your steps. Thank you! I always look forward to your videos. You're the best.

I’ve always heard it’s important to pay utilities because if you move anywhere they may block you from getting the lights/water turned on and the fees are higher or you may need a co-signer😏
