Well I disputed some old medical bills on my wifes TU CR and get the results(30 days are up) yesterday. Well when I got the results 2 of the medical bills are listed as "THE FOLLOWING ITEM IS SUPPRESSED PENDING CREDIT GRANTOR UPDATE:" WTH?

Nothing in the FCRA about suppressing data. Pretty clear cut. I'd inform them that they have not complied with the FCRA and they must delete not suppress:
