What to do
Map the month, account identifier, and creditor. Dispute a duplicated false history with statements and transfer evidence.

Save a dated copy of the relevant report, statement, or agreement. Verify the actual account terms and subsequent updates. A tool or dispute cannot guarantee a score increase or remove accurate information merely because it is unfavorable.
