This is a current account in good standing and I did not dispute it. What the heck do I do to get rid of the dispute? I'm in the process of getting a mortgage and can't have any disputes on my file.
Ah crap I just realized what it is...
I disputed a charge on my card with the credit card company. That actually shows up on the credit report?! How they heck do I get rid of it?
Maybe it will clear itself out before they pull another report on you. I struggled with removing one - they were disputing that I was disputing so I was going round and round for months. Some are easy to get off by calling in - but some arent. The one that I'm struggling with, my lender said she can do a rapid rescore and get it removed for me. Not sure how but praying it works.
I ended up cancelling the dispute. It was for $37.00 from a service I disputed that wasn't performed. I'd rather pay the $37.00 than have it mess up my mortgage.
It probably won't be until May when they do another credit pull so it should be ok by then.
I also just discovered a note left on my CR after disputing a fraudulent $350 charge on one of my cards (right after using it at a restaurant) It notes "Account previously in dispute - investigation complete, reported by data furnisher" Is this affecting my credit, or is the fact the investigation is complete mean there is no effect now?
