Practical next step
Send the remaining bureau its own report page and supporting evidence. Contact the furnisher about what it sent to each bureau, and verify all final fields.
Verify the result
Keep the original report or statement, your supporting records, and any response. Compare the same account and dates after the next update. Accurate information generally cannot be removed just because it affects a score.
