It says That the Account has been Collection Charge Off


ALso My Credit Score Shows as 526 and it says
Your credit ranks higher than 2.52% of the Canadian population also it says
Your creditworthiness is Very Poor


So From that i would like to know.. HOW BAD IS MY SITUATION???
Can i ever recover from it??
Should I PAY rogers Back there money?? nov 2010 will be 7 years ( i called the collection agency who has the rogers account and they said they can settle the account if i pay them 500$ and they will put Paid In Settle on my report instead of it saying "bad"
my student loan was paid of few months ago i paid it off to the collection agency.. Td Visa is ok i am paying it off slowly i have about 400$ to pay i willl pay that by next month..


SO now i want to know if i have any chance to gettin this fix.. am i in a bad position?

well money is kinda tight but my main thing i want to know is .. should i pay of the rogers?? its in collection at the moment and reported as COLLECTION CHARGE OFF.. donno wat it means butt i do know nov 2010 will be 7 years for that account n its off
I believe credit score starts to improve based on the date of last activity, and things get removed based on the length of time that has elapsed since the date of last activity (ie the 7 years).

Therefore, if Rodgers has stopped reporting on this a long time ago (ie more than 2 years ago) based on the COLLECTION CHARGE OFF, then paying it may cause them to report it again, and that may hurt your credit score.

If they are still reporting on it or have reported on it recently (within 2 years) then paying will help your credit score.

However, I am not an expert, and I would advise talking to an expert before making a decision.
