What to do
Read them as explanations of that specific calculation, then verify report data. They are not a guarantee that changing one item adds a set number of points.
Check the outcome
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.
