"Account information disputed by consumer" comments keeping me from getting Mortgage

[Anonymous]

I disputed the "disputes" and they took nothing off!  They just sent it to the companies and 3 of them disappeared from 2 of the 3 reports but it was because they didn't reply in time probably.  They just verified the debt AGAIN and took none of the statements they (CRA) put on, off my report.  I'm ticked!

What can I do to get those stupid statements off my report????

I called Experian yesterday and advised them that my "disputed" accounts were no longer disputed and asked that they remove the notation. It was completed in about 2 hours and I rec'd an email advising me of the update. I am also getting FHA loan and was asked to provide a letter of explanation for my 3 accounts. Experian was the only one that had these accounts noted as being in dispute.

I'll definitely try that...Do you have the phone number to the CRA?

I dialed 866/853-0303. They did ask me for a report number.....which I got from pulling back door off of CCT.

You were absolutely correct...within an hour I had the email with all of the dispute comments off my Experian report.  UNFORTUNATELY...it's another story with the other 2.  They absolutely swore to me that the owner of the debt is refusing to take off the comments and they don't really have to.  I had them file another dispute but I don't know if it will help!  The funny thing is that with TransUnion, I started with 6 of these comments and 4 didn't answer so they were completely taken off my report which left 2 that refuse to take the comment off.  Verizon Wireless....(Midland)...yuck!

I just found out the hard way that they "account diputed by consumer" comment does hurt an approval. Moreso an FHA I think .

I Fannie and Freddie started it and I think many FHA lenders have joined in as well.  Better off to do your disputes well before applying for a mortgage and make sure all traces are removed by the time you apply.

And...better off to NOT dispute anything that is accurate. People have disputed "just to see" if something will get deleted, and...instead...they end up with the dispute comment and no mortgage.

What about if there are only 2 accounts that have the statement but both accounts are paid and closed.

I had success with EXP from the number given above, and success from EQU by calling 866-229-7861 (but on my cred report it said that this number changes monthly). I pulled the free report we are entitled to once per year to get a confirmation number for EQU but used CCT to obtain a report number for EXP.  Both EXP and EQU took my e-mail address and said they could remove the dispute statements right away, and watch for the email to confirm this.  No such luck with TU. They said they have to contact the creditor but they will only dispute the remarks section and not the account itself and it can take up to 30 days. I can't wait to see how this will turn out. Why has TU always been so behind, catch and start doing removing these comments ASAP like the other 2 CRA's.

I had success with all three by disputing"OTHER.and in remarks...I NO LONGER DISPUTE THIS ACCOUNT" The messages were deleted within 1-3 days...
