fico credit scores and short sales

I have a dispute on a short sale on my report. The short sale is real and I was disputing the term foreclosure vs. short sale.  It is now listed as a short sale. When your fico score is calculated does it include disputed accounts like short sales.

Re: fico credit scores and short sales

Welcome!

 

I'm certain that short sales and foreclosures are scored on par with each other per FICO. Under a manual review, I'm guessing a short sale would fair better.

 

Whe an OC account is disputed, like a mortgage, FICO will ignore the balance and the negative references of that tradeline while the dispute is active. Once the dispute clears, FICO will resume scoring those two aspects.
