I paid off a medical debt but my score hasn't increased.
Post Body

If anyone can shed any light on this it would be appreciated. At the beginning of November I paid off a $730 medical debt that was in collections. I checked their website and it said they report at the beginning of each month. Now it's January and my score hasn't changed at all.

I can't remember if I saw it on Credit Karma or my bank's website but I saw that it was estimated to raise my score by 21 points if I paid it off. Any answers or resources would be helpful. Thank you.

80% of your credit score is based on the activity from the last 24 months. So, if you pay a debt that is over 24 months old, you bump it from a late collection to a recent paid derogatory. Now, its activity date is within the past 24 months, and it carries a lot more weight.
