How long do online disputes take?

Credit bureaus must investigate within 30 days. You typically receive results within 3–4 weeks.

Can I dispute the same item multiple times?

Yes, but bureaus may deem subsequent disputes frivolous without new information. Escalate with new evidence or try a different dispute reason.
