Scores DO go up when disputing. When I was in dispute mode, I disputed 5 items on equifax and my score went up 61 points while in dispute. 3 were deleted, 2 verified, and my score went back down 30 points.
I still don't get the whole scoring crap, I guess nobody does. I had a charge off, repo and a collection taken off leaving only 1 negative and 1 inquiry in 6 months and my score went DOWN 61 point.
How would you like to pay $30,000 in one month and LOSE points??? F.I.C.O. IS A RANDOM NUMBER GENERATOR!!!
As a point of reference for another active discussion on this board right now, exactly how did you get the repo removed?
