Yes but not overnight. With your debts paid when you start paying your bills regularly again, then your credit will start to go up.

Paying off your past due bills is the first step in raising your score. However, the fact that you have missed payments will continue to negatively affect your score since a portion of your score is how timely your past payments have been. As long as teh bills are currently past due means that your score will not improve, but as these accounts age, the past dues become less important (assuming they are paid) and your score will start to increase slowly.

Slowly and overtime yes, as you continue to show you will be consistent in paying off payments on time.

Gradually

Eventually, but it will be a slow process. Good credit can be wrecked quickly. Bad credit is repaired slowly.

Yes. Slowly. But you won't be buying a brand new car in 6 months.
