Dispute is only appropriate if their was some inaccuracy in their reporting. The initial burden in any dispute is on the consumer to assert, and preferably document, an actual inaccuracy.
As for deltion based on payment of the debt, the CRAs have a written policy, expressed in both their credit reporting manuals and their reporting agreements with furnishers, that is it improper to delete based on payment of the debt. So any dispute based on payment is in effect asking the CRA to intervene by in a matter they dont sanction.
The "proper" process is to ask for GW deletion. Even that process has its problems, as it is still a request to delete for a reason that is contrary to their credit reporting agreements.
