Collection Removed!

[Anonymous]

I recently disputed an old Sprint account through Experian. The CA was Enchanced Recovery Collection and I disputed it because the DOFD was off by 3 yrs and and it was listed as closed. Anyway I disputed it and it is now removed from EX and TU. I even compared a CR last month to this month to be sure and it is indeed removed. Thanks goes to this forum with the useful tips and info!

Have you received a confirmation from the CRA's? During the dispute process accts are typically removed fron view.

I'd be wary unless you have an official communica from Exp or TU.

CA accounts are not removed during a dispute.  Only certain aspects of an OC account.

I've done disputes where during the investigation it would show the item as "Potentially negative closed". But this time it was nowhere to found in my CR. I even logged in the Experian dispute site where I initiated the dispute and it didn't show the item at all.

Congratulations!!  Did you see an increase in your score after the removal of the collection?  I had a paid collection ($1900) removed from my CR, but did not see an increase in my score.

Honestly I don't remember, I was just glad it was removed. I think it was 3 or 5 point jump since it was really old.
