 TITLE: How Disputing Information on Your Credit Report Affects Your Credit CONTENT: How Will the Results of My Dispute Impact My Credit Scores?\n-----------------------------------------------------------\nFiling a dispute has no impact on your score, however, if information on your credit report changes after your dispute is processed, your credit scores could change.\nHow it changes—whether it goes up, down or stays the same—is dependent on what you are disputing and the outcome of the dispute. For example, late payments have a negative impact on credit scores; if a late payment was mistakenly reported on your credit report, and you had this incorrect information removed through the dispute process, your credit scores will most likely improve.\nSome information on your credit report has no impact on credit scores, such as identification and address information. If you corrected this type of information, it will not affect your credit scores.\nAfter your dispute is completed, (this generally takes about 30 days) log in to your Experian account to see how your dispute affected your FICO® Score☉ from Experian.
