Only works for EQ, and only if you have high balances, and other tradelines. But for me, my score went up 36 points by disputing two credit card tradelines that are maxed out. I would love to follow the above strategy by don't have the funds to pay down the balances.

That would work for a loan where they only pull Equifax, but for a mortgage they typically pull all 3 credit scores.
