The best pay to improve your FICO score is to pay all the collections and judgments. Bankruptcy will hurt your FICO score. Leaving things in collection will also hurt your FICO score. Leaving judgments unpaid will also hurt your FICO score.
Stop worrying so much about your FICO score and just man-up and pay off your debts. That has the dual advantage of raising your FICO score while proving you are an honorable adult.
