Perhaps a silly question...

Maybe this is just wishful thinking.

My experian score was WAY lower than my other FICO scores. I decided to do what I could. I filed a dispute to get some old bad things off my report. So far, it's come back with one thing deleted (yay) and two are "updated."

Does "updated" ever raise a person's credit score? Maybe I'm just hoping too much, and it probably doesn't help. But maybe...

Really depends on what is being updated but yes it can happen.

Well, one was an old collection and the other was a newer collection that I paid in full. I guess there's no way those being left on my credit report could possibly be good. One was discharged in bankruptcy the other I paid off. Maybe the fact that I paid one off will help...eh. I don't know. It sucks that I've only gotten one deletion and the other two that are still pending aren't looking good for getting deleted. I might end up with four updated's and only one deleted. I should try to stay positive and hope for deletions, though.
