18 point increase in EQ score

I got an alert that my EQ score had increased by 18 points. The alert said it was related to an item that was reinserted back on my credit after it was deleted because of a dispute.  The DOLA was 2003.  The item is under dispute and no activity has been made on it.  What is going on?

Was it an old CO? Sometimes the history outweighs the damage a CO can cause.
 
If you fight it, expect a drop in score. By law, though, if you disputed via the CRA, the CRA has 5 days to send you a written notification that they are going to reinsert. I think you can pursue this further, but not without a score drop.
