[Anonymous]

I have an item that is showing up on 2 of my cr but when I try to dispute the item on the fico website they do not show up!!!!

What is the item of information that you wish to dispute, and does it show in a report from annualcreditreport.com?

It is dr. bill. I have not checked my annualcreditreport.com. I have just been keeping up with my score from the fico web page.

Welcome @Anonymous . Its always best to dispute by mail certified return receipt so you have a paper trail in case further action is needed. I've used fax at work because I have the fax confirmation page as proof. Actually it was faster than snail mail. Could you elaborate a bit more. What and who are you disputing? Then we can help you out more.

It is a 1,900.00 dr. bill that was should have been paid by my insurance but wasn't. Once I realized this it had already been sent to the credit bureaus and reported as a collection. It has since been paid by insurance but is still showing up on my credit report with my fico website but when I checked at myannualreport it is not on that.

I hope you mean that you checked on www.annualcreditreport.com? (There are a lot of similiarly-named scam sites, be careful.)

If so, and it is gone from there, then it is truly gone from your reports.

The reports on MyFICO don't update "live", only when a new report is pulled (either a paid one-off, or part of a monthly or quarterly subscription).

If you haven't pulled a new report, then it will still be showing the same data as the day that you did pull it, including since-deleted accounts.

Also, removal of an account is not an alerting trigger for the subscription service, so you wouldn't see a score update from the change, until another report change that is alertable occurs.

Yes, I pulled it from annualcreditreport and it was not on any of the reports from that website.

Thank You for all your help.

New CRA policy, as agreed to in a recent settlement agreement between the big-3 CRAs and the offices of the AG of several states, and also incorporated into their National Consumer Assistance Plan, is that if a medical collection is shown to have been paid via insurance, the CRA willl remove from the consumer's credit report.

Submit proof to the CRA that the debt was paid via medical insurance, and it will be removed without any need to dispute.
