Review the records

Review the signed terms, current balance, and payment history. If ownership or a month is misstated, dispute the precise field; if the other borrower stopped paying, address the obligation promptly.

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.
