To help you understand the results of your dispute once it is complete, here are descriptions of the possible outcomes of your dispute that you will see in the main "Alerts" section of your Experian account. Disputes Related to Accounts or Public Records
Disputes Related to Your Personal Information or an Inquiry
How Will the Results of My Dispute Impact My Credit Scores?Filing a dispute has no impact on your score, however, if information on your credit report changes after your dispute is processed, your credit scores could change. How it changes—whether it goes up, down or stays the same—is dependent on what you are disputing and the outcome of the dispute. For example, late payments have a negative impact on credit scores; if a late payment was mistakenly reported on your credit report, and you had this incorrect information removed through the dispute process, your credit scores will most likely improve. Some information on your credit report has no impact on credit scores, such as identification and address information. If you corrected this type of information, it will not affect your credit scores. After your dispute is completed, (this generally takes about 30 days) log in to your Experian account to see
how your dispute affected your FICO® Score☉ from Experian. This helpful FICO® Score infographic can help you understand more about your score and how lenders view your
creditworthiness. How Long Will Information Stay on My Credit Report?By law, most negative information, such as a late payment, is required to stay on your credit report for seven years. Positive information can remain on your credit report indefinitely. See How Long Does Something Stay on my Credit Report for more
information. What If I Disagree With the Outcome of My Dispute?If you receive your dispute results and don't agree with them, you have a few options: 1. Contact the Source of the InformationYour best next step is to contact the entity who originally provided the information to Experian. This is usually the creditor, lender or financial institution that provided the loan or credit initially, but could also be a collection agency or office of the government. The contact details for the source of each piece of information appears on your credit report. View your credit report to get the contact information. 2. Add a Statement of DisputeA statement of dispute allows you to explain why you believe the information is inaccurate or incomplete. The statement will appear on your Experian credit report whenever it's accessed or requested by a potential lender or creditor, so they may ask you for more details or documentation as part of their review or application process. To add a statement of dispute, go to the Dispute Center, choose the item in dispute, and select "Add a Statement" from the menu of dispute reasons. 3. Dispute Again With Relevant InformationIf you have additional relevant information to substantiate your claim, you can submit a new dispute by uploading the additional documentation through
Experian's Online Dispute Center. Once your dispute has been submitted you will be presented with a link to upload supporting documentation. You can also access the doc upload screen from your dispute results. Dispute with additional relevant information can also be submitted by mail to Experian at Experian, P.O.

Does Cancelling a dispute hurt your credit?No. The act of disputing items on your credit report does not hurt your score. However, the outcome of the dispute could cause your score to adjust. If the “negative” item is verified to be correct, for example, your score might take a dip.
