I have been trying to repair my credit for about 3 months. I disputed some negative items on my account from Equifax. On May 6th I received some decisions from Equifax. 7 of my negative items were deleted from my credit file. I have not seen an increase off my credit score yet. Does anyone know how long this takes? All accounts were 2008-2011. Should my score increase? Just wondering if anyone else has gone through this, and what to expect. I have also been working on the other two reports w/ some progress w/ transunion .. Had 4 deleted May 5th. Still no increase there either. My current scores is 587 Tans & 575 Equ.
It can take anywhere from 30-45 days sometimes for the system to update. It also depends what other items are on your CR. As long as the rest of your reports are clean, and your UTI isn't out of control(cards maxed out), then you should see a boost. But what that actual number is hard to say.
Good to know. I will update when i have some change

im keeping my fingers crossed for you as well. from what i've read it takes 30-45 days after the deletes are posted in order for you to see an increase in your score.
Well here is a month later... No increase in equifax..... and i had 9 deleted off my transunion and dropped 22 points......... i give up..... I have tried to get rid of all my negative collections/charge off and i have gotten no where. This is crazy............ CREDIT SCORE SUCK........ hope other have better luck then me.... at least most of the negatives are gone...... make my report look better, I guess no home for me this year
Did you have them delete entire TLs? If so, did that destroy your AAoA? Also, what's your util look like?
The amount of a score increase is usually dependient as much on what remains as what derogs may have been removed.
If major derogs (CO, collection, 90+ late, judgement) still remain, your scoring continues under a "dirty" scoring category/bucket.
That determines the weighting of remaining derogs.
When all major derogs are gone, a sizeable increase is usually seen.
Additionally, as pointed out, any changes in other categories, such as util or lenght of credit, may offset gains in payment history.
It's rarely a "one-category gets this" expected gain that can be predicted.
