		<description>How much did it go down when the collection item appeared?

FICO score formula is very complicated and it really depends on what else is on your credit report.  A limited history will be more affected than an extensive history.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;BD</description>

		<description>That is not the way it works. Your score will not go up from it.. only positive credit &#039;tings&#039; make your score go up such as paying a credit card on time.. paying a loan on time..

But as this was negative credit as in your did not pay something on time it had a bad &#039;ting&#039; to your score every month until it was paid. Now that it is paid it will no longer effect your score and bring it down it will just not have any effect at all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Did loans for a living.. worked everyday with peoples credit reports.</description>

		<description>You need to re establish credit in order to get your score to rise. It won&#039;t happen on it&#039;s own by just letting time go by. That means, you may need to get a secured credit card or loan. 

446 sounds like you either filed bankruptcy or had a foreclosure.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>YEARS - you will have to get your score up to at least 620 AND have 10-20% downpayment &amp; closing cost CASH ($15-30,0000) AND be making at least $50,000-60,000 a yr to have any shot at buying a house in that price range

I have never heard of a score that low - you must have tons of late payments, non-payments, debts in collection, etc - it&#039;s going to take as LONG time to clear all that stuff up - maybe as long as 7.5 yrs until it all falls off your credit history&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>You will need at least 24 months of consistent, on time payment history to even begin to see improvement in your score.  If you don&#039;t have current, open credit lines, get a credit card, even if you have to get a secured card.  Use the card and pay the balance in full every month.  You will really need several current credit lines with good payment history for several years to even get close to the minimum 620 you need for an FHA loan.

Mortgage lenders will also require that you settle all derogatory items on your credit report.  Get a copy of your credit report (AnnualCreditReport.com) and see what shows.  Start with the newest derogatory item and work back to the oldest.  If something is close to the 7 year mark, just let it age off.  

You should be able to settle old debt for 25% to 50%, depending on how old the debt.  Get any settlement agreement in writing and keep that agreement, along with your payment proof, forever.  Do not give collectors direct access to your bank account.

Besides cleaning up your credit, there are other major factors that go into the approval process.  These include minimum 2 year stable work history, income, debt to income ratio, other assets, downpayment and closing costs.

My guess is that you would have to really work on it for at least 4 years to put yourself in a position to qualify for a mortgage.  And even then, you might not qualify for $150K.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;BD</description>

		<description>my boyfriend raised his 100 points in a year. he started by getting a copy of his credit report and verifying all the information that was true. disputed what was not and then made arrangements with his collectors. i am learning that you can ask for a pay for delete letter for some of your debts so that is something to look into and also a secured loan or credit card seems like a good idea.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>Give it a minimum of 2 years.  Just make sure you begin taking the steps you need to take immediately; don&#039;t procrastinate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
