How to Add time to my timer on colliding

Hello I would like to know why the scripts I'm using are not working properly with my timer i would really appreciate any help !

 using System;
 using System.Collections.Generic;
 using UnityEngine;
 
 public class Timertext : MonoBehaviour
 {
     public float timeLeft;
     public GUIText Timer;
     public GUIText gameOverText;

 public void Update()
 {
     timeLeft -= Time.deltaTime;
     if (timeLeft <= 0.0f) {
         Timer.text = "You ran out of time";
         gameOverText.text = "GAME OVER";
     } 
     else
     {
         Timer.text = "Time left = " + (int)timeLeft +  " seconds";
     }
     }
 }


 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Tanktimer : MonoBehaviour {
 
     public Timertext Timertext;
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
     
     }
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         if(other.gameObject.tag == "PickUp")
         {

did you initialized ou timer with any value? (it's not on the script, so if you didn't gave it any value don't forget to do so), i know it's a silly question but everyone forget details sometimes, so yeah.

 public Timertext Timertext;  //BAD - Dont name a variable to be the same as its Type

Try

 public Timertext timerText;

Then change

 timerText.timeLeft += 10;

If you are trying to access a particular script rather than the instance in your script, you will need to reference the gameobject containing the script and use GetComponent to modify the information.

I already tried it but there is still an error

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class Tanktimer : $$anonymous$$onoBehaviour {
 
     public Timertext timerText;
     
     // Update is called once per frame
     void Update () {
     
     }
     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
     {
         if(other.gameObject.tag == "PickUp")
         {
             //add time
             //Destroy(other.gameObject);
             timerText.timeLeft += 10;
         }
     }
 }
