Some times when an item is being disputed it is taken out of the fico formula and may lower your score.

wow are you serious, Ok i disputed because the credit card reported me as being 30days late so as of right now it is still in dispute, but my latest payment brought the balance down to 990...and i just received an alert about the score change.

There are some things FICO will not calculate while a TL is in dispute. Does that mean you should dispute in hopes of increasing your score? NO! This could easily backfire.

Collections and public records do not apply and are never exempt while in dispute. Smiley Happy
