Will i be required to take my dispute messages off my credit report? They have been there over a year. Not from original hospial, but money recovery nationwide.
Usually, yes.
While a dispute is still pending, certain information is removed from your scoring, and they want to see your accurate current score.
If the dispute was filed a year ago, there should be NO reason for the dispute to continue to show as pending.
Even in the most extreme case, the maximum period in which a CRA must conclude its reinvestigatin of a dispute is 45 days from filing, and they must conclude their disptue by mailing of their formal Notice of Results of Reinvestigation no later than 5 business days after conclusion of their reinvestigation period.
Two months max. It is not legally possible to have an unconcluded dispute for one year.
If your CR is still showing a pending dispute with no update to show concluded, then I would make informal contact with the CRA over their clear failure to have updated the pending dispute status.
I would not file a dispute over their lack of update. You dont want the catch-22 of filing a new dispute, imposing a new pending dispute flag.
Treat it as a complaint over their clear lack of administrative update of your file.
I would use the HIPAA Process to take care of that collection, you can Google search it and contact its creator it cannot be discussed on this board.
if im correct you dont mean its currently in dispute status but you disputed in the past and you now have a note that says it was previously disputed
my LO told me that may be a condition but its best to just be proactive about it and remove it right away or you can wait- they dont always make it necessary but usually yes. I simply called the bureaus and went through the ones i disputed and asked them to remove comment and it was gone within a day or two - i may or may not have lost a point or two as there was other things going on so i cant contribute my 3 point loss to that exact fix
