Overview

Track changes across all three bureaus in one place

Monitoring lets us verify deletions, time follow‑ups, and react to new activity fast (like a collection or utilization spike).

What it covers 3‑bureau reports • score changes • alerts for inquiries, new accounts, late payments, and breaches.
Why it matters Dispute windows are time‑sensitive — reliable data keeps momentum.

Monitors

Speed Confirm deletions promptly and sequence the next dispute round on time.
Protection Catch identity issues or unauthorized activity early.
Clarity Keep a clear record of what changed and when — all in one place.
