Disputed account information.
Good question?

I disputed some negative account information, two credit cards that was sent to collections, and have been paid in full. I pulled my credit report and the orginal credit card debt showed up with a balance. So I disputed them, and they didn't get back to the credit agencies in time so they took it off my credit report. Now my CK score is lower. When will it get back up. Tring to build my credit and buy a house.

To build credit you must use.  Do you have additional cards.  If not try a Orchard Bank card because this is a good one to rebuild credit.  Then keep all card balances below 30% of their limits at all times.  Good Luck.
