Starting the clock on your first disputes



If you’re repairing your credit on your own, you determine how fast this part of the process goes because you’re in the driver’s seat. If you pay a credit repair service, the company will help you expedite so this gets done as quickly as possible.

Once your first disputes are submitted to the credit bureaus, the official clock on the responses starts. The credit bureau has 30 days to contact the creditors to verify the information and respond. This is why it’s a good idea to send your letters by registered mail, so you have proof of the delivery date.

From response to resolution

After 30 days, the credit bureau must respond to your inquiry. In some cases, more documentation may be required if the bureau needs something else to verify or reject a dispute. As a result, there can be some back and forth before disputes are resolved.

Fact: Mistakes that appear all of your credit reports must be disputed with each credit bureau individually.

In addition, you may have to file more than one dispute letter. If you have a large number of mistakes that you identify, you usually don’t want to submit more than a few disputed items at a time in each dispute letter. As a result, you may have to submit a few disputes at a time and resolve them in sets.


If you’re doing the work on your own, it’s basically going to be that you have to keep working until it’s done. If you have retained representation, your credit repair company should be able to give you an idea of how long it should take in your situation.

Rebuilding while you repair


One thing you can do to expedite the process to better credit is to start taking steps to build credit while you’re getting items removed through credit repair. So you stay on top of your payments to build a positive payment history and take steps to reduce your credit card debt load so your credit utilization ratio is as low as possible.

This one-two punch of credit correction is how you go from a bad credit score to a good one. But you have to be patient. If you’re working towards a major goal like a new home, give yourself at least six months to a year to improve. This will ensure you have time to get the credit you need before you apply.
