Found my score killer

Well I finally got up the courage to dispute my defaulted $22000 student loan and my EX score went up 28 points (all the way up to 565!) It would be so cool if that got deleted. I think I might actually have a good chance because the CA that's listing it on my CR is not the CA that's currently collecting on it.

It went up just by disputing it, you didn't have to change anything?????

I disputed something to EQUIFAX, and my score went down: WUWT

That's what I thought too, but I think my TL that I disputed brought the average years of my overall TL'S down???

Anyhow, that's great news, I would really concentrate on get that TL off.

Whatever you do, ah I'm sure you know, but for the record, don't contact them on this line otherwise they will have an extra 15 days, giving them a total of 45 days to verify.

I read earlier on a post that only EQU goes up with disputes. That TU and EXP don't go up at all during disputes.

You are correct..TU freezes your score till all invs are complete, but EQ, strange things happen.

Yep, that's probably exactly what happened. But remember, don't focus too much on the score, you need to clean up the data on your files. Not all lenders use the same scoring method however they do all look at what's on your report.
