Review the records
Open the underlying report and creditor record. If the item is inaccurate, save evidence and dispute the precise field; if it reflects your activity, update your records.
Choose the appropriate action
If the information is accurate, use the account records to plan the next step. No dispute or calculator can guarantee a particular score change.
