Updated over a week ago

Adding dispute items manually is useful when you have a client’s credit report that can’t be imported. In this article, we’ll cover how to use the Dispute Wizard to dispute credit items manually.

The Dispute Wizard won’t exactly “import” the credit reports. Contrary to popular belief, adding dispute items manually requires very little typing, so it's nearly as fast as importing a report.
