You can always dispute these things, but proving the rating wrong will take you providing proof to the credit reporting agency. Better yet, get a Trac phone and have a phone number available.
The mailing address to start a dispute claim on a credit report with Experian is: PO Box 4500 Allen, TX 75013.
If the inquiry occured and the inquiring entity had a lawful purpose, you can't get rid of them because they are valid. If you believe the inquiries to be unlawful you can dispute them with each of the 3 credit agencies: Equifax Experian Trans Union
The best way that I have found to do this is to send every letter registered mail so that they have to sign for the letter. This way you have proof that they have received it. The collector has to investigate the dispute within 30 days of receiving your letter, if not they are in violation of the fair debt collection practices act and you can sue them. If they fail to respond, send a letter directly to the credit reporting agency (i.e. Trans Union, Experian, and Equifax) along with copies of the proof that they received your dispute letters. They should directly remove the item from your credit report.
I would dispute a charge from the site with my credit card company. Get it reversed and that should cause them to cancel the account. If that does not work report them to the legal authorities as a scam.

Yes (if it is a dispute on an item on your credit report). Either your score will improve because you corrected a negative error, or it will not change because no correction was deemed appropriate and nothing will change.
Because of a dispute or an error.
You can dispute inaccurate information on your credit report. You can start the dispute process by contacting all of the credit bureaus that are reporting the negative information.
An Experian dispute is a reporting of a negative credit on your credit report. Experian dispute can also be red flagged if filed incorrectly, so you need to be careful with that. The process can be unpleasant so make sure to have a good credit.
Yes a dispute can take 30 days. When I had a dispute on my credit file I signed up to Credit Repair who helped me challenge the negative item I noticed on my file and raised a dispute with the creditor who were not able to verify why it was negative so they informed the creditor that since they were not able to verify it they are required by law to stop reporting them. They did offer me a free 10-minute credit analysis when we started. Hope this helps check it out: yazing .com/deals/creditrepair/Respot
Restoring bad credit takes time. You can start by requesting your credit report and dispute negative mistakes that you may find. Only the passage of time can improve your credit when you have legitimate negative remarks in your credit report.
If you dispute too many charges, your credit card company may become suspicious of fraudulent activity and could potentially close your account or take other actions to protect themselves from potential losses. It is important to only dispute charges that are truly unauthorized or incorrect to avoid any negative consequences.
The dispute takes so long because the credit reporting agency has to investigate any and all disputes.
Paying off your car loan can potentially have a small negative impact on your credit score because it reduces the mix of credit types in your credit history. However, the impact is usually minimal and temporary.
Closing a bank account can potentially impact your credit score if the account has a negative balance or if it is your oldest account. This can affect your credit history and overall credit utilization, which are factors that can influence your credit score.
Most credit repair companies offer to dispute incorrect items on your credit report until they are accurate. If these items are negative, this will have a positive impact on your credit score. However, remember that you can actually send dispute letters yourself. Credit repair companies just take out the hassle for a fee.
It should, but I would recommend writing to each credit reporting agency to dispute the negative entry on your credit report.
