It%26#039;ll have a positive impact on your credit score, but it won%26#039;t enact miracles right away. It%26#039;s a positive way to start rebuilding your credit score though.

you can pay it off, but it%26#039;s gonna take a few yrs for your credit score to come back up.

(remember to make sure the credit reporting companies have your correct info about the pay offs.)
