This is from Transunion they say the max score I can have is 934 I thought it was 950. I have 2 recent collections that are in dispute...could that be the reason they don`t mention them as part of the reason for my low score? Any input is appreciated Your Credit Score: 506 Minimum Score: 150 Maximum Score: 934 return to top Print your report Factor 1: RETAIL ACCOUNT BALANCES ARE TOO HIGH IN PROPORTION TO CREDIT LIMITS CONSUMERS HAVING HIGH BALANCES ON THESE ACCOUNTS IN RELATION TO THE CREDIT LIMITS ARE MORE LIKELY OF FUTURE DELINQUENCY.

It's possible they removed it. I thought that TU lists the disputed item on your credit report as "in dispute (or whatever)" until its complete. Here to hoping it was deleted! Smitty I always wanted to be somebody, but I should have been more specific.
