Hello! I am in the middle of escrow and I'm experiencing mega anxiety over 2 dispute comments that are on my credit. The lender is suggesting that they are removed by rapid rescore, but I know sometimes this can tank your credit score due to artificial inflaction of FICO and unfortunately the dispute comments are on my mid-score.
Does anyone have any experience removing dispute comments from Transunion and seeing a score drop? I had them on all 3 credit bureaus; however, I somehow missed them on Transunion's comments section. I called and requested the other be removed from Equifax and Experian. The results thusfar have been: removing one dispute from my Equifax did nothing to the score...removing 2 dispute comments off of collection accounts from Experian dropped the score 44 points.
The disputes that remain on Transunion are 3. They are on accounts owned by collection agencies (not original lender charge offs). The actual language of the dispute says "Account information disputed by consumer; meets FCRA requirements"
Has anyone ever been in this situation. I have been working on repairing my credit for over a year and I'm really worried that the lender will do a rapid rescore to remove the comments and I will see my score tank.
Thanks for any advice you have!
There are a bunch of threads around here that suggest that disputed accounts can cause scoring aberrations.
An account in dispute is "shielded" in certain ways from the scoring process.

I was removing disputes on my reports this past week, and saw both my EQ and TU score drop about 15 points each. I haven't seen any change on EX yet.
