Repair Credit Score

Question: Length of Collection in Washington State?

These are very important questions because I am now trying to repair my credit so I can buy a home but am not too familiar with the credit game. And I only have two things in my credit now.

1. How long can a creditor hold you in collections for?

2. and if they remove you for some reason ( pulled out my report the other day and they are no longer there, and I haven't paid it yet) can they report you back into the collection agencies?

3. Anyone have any tips on how to improve your credit?

Answer: The collecting SOL for credit cards in Washington is 3 years.
The collecting SOL for written accounts - bank loans etc is 6 years.
