Could making monthly payments on multiple collections accounts until there is a zero balance raise your credit score?
The way you asked the question, forces me to say no. Let me explain.
Paying collection agencies (as opposed to the collection department of your creditor) will generally not help your credit score as quickly as if you were to pay the creditor directly. In either case, the most significant thing you can do to improve your score (besides making the payments religiously), is to send a written request to your creditor to update your score after you've made payments for 6 months or so.
It would also be a good idea for you to pull your credit report periodically (after the request has had some time), so that you can follow it up and make sure that the update took place. You should be aware that some larger companies report quarterly or less often. You may not be able to influence their cycle.
