wiscweb Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 amazing how this stuff works. I disputed 18...count them 18 items from over 5 years ago just out of curiosity. Most of them were paid off, but still showing up on the credit report.I'm hype like a mug! For some reason though, the score didn't move. How long does it take for the score to update? Any ideas anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kb9tbq Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 The older the account, the less the effect on the credit scores. But the improvement will still be worth other creditors no longer being able to see these on your credit report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willow Posted May 28, 2003 Report Share Posted May 28, 2003 Good job! Proof that you can dispute more than one item at a time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said it before and will restate what KB said, don't focus on the score as the most important thing, the important thing is the DATA. An old collections account may add to the tenure of the file if you don't have many other old accounts, however, it's still derogatory and when it's removed and positive data is added to the file, the score will raise. Lenders use different formulas for different things so what you see might not be what an auto lender sees anyways. The score should only be viewed as a measure of your success.
