At times, we may find ourselves in a situation where we need to challenge a balance on our credit card with the lender. The lender will handle the dispute based on financial regulations and policies. When a resolution is reached between the two parties, it is reported by the lender as "Dispute Resolved." This can happen in one of three ways.

How Does "Dispute Resolved Reported by Grantor" Affect Your Credit Score Report After a Conflict?
The outcome of any financial dispute with your credit company is reflected in your credit rating record, which is determined by your credit balance and debt collection statistics. When a full examination is conducted by the grantor, there are three possible outcomes.
The first outcome is that the grantor will mark the dispute as resolved when it is accurate. This outcome favors the person who filed the dispute charges, as the lender acknowledges the validity of the dispute and resolves it accordingly.
The second outcome is a corrective approach by the grantor, in which the filed dispute is found to be inaccurate. The grantor then proceeds to fix the dispute before resolving it. In both cases, the outcome of the investigation is reflected in the credit score balance.
The third possible outcome of a dispute investigated by the credit grantor is the removal of the dispute. This is only possible when there are a significant number of errors in the contested credit report. In this scenario, the grantor will not resolve the dispute but will instead initiate the deletion process. Once the process is completed, the grantor will send a notification of the outcome, which will state that the dispute has been resolved and reported by the grantor credit score record.
The Significance of '0' Following a Conflict Resolution
When a notification of a resolved dispute reported by the grantor shows a balance of $0, it indicates that the credit responsibility has been terminated, and the lender no longer has the authority to collect any outstanding debt. This could happen in two possible scenarios where there is an outstanding debt owed to the lender.
The first scenario is where the individual has paid off the debt to the lender, which cancels the creditor's authority to pursue any future debt collection. The second scenario is where the individual has transferred the debt to another entity.
In either case, the lender will show a balance of $0, indicating that the status has changed after resolving the dispute filed by the borrower.
Grantor's Reported Options Following Conflict Resolution
Customers have the option to either agree or disagree with credit reports issued by the grantor, and they can also challenge the decisions made by the relevant authorities. Once the grantor resolves these disputes, customers receive these reports from the bureau.
While most investigations and reports are accurate, customers can disagree with the credit findings if they believe that the reports are incorrect.
If a credit card issuer has closed your credit card account for any reason, you will see a headline on your report that reads "Closed by Grantor." This closure may occur if you have not been meeting the credit payment deadlines specified by the issuer. As a result, credit card closure can have a serious impact on your credit score. To minimize any damage, you should promptly pay off any remaining credit charges.
Credit Score Report Indicates Resolution of Conflict as Reported by Grantor: Final Decision
If there are unknown variables in the credit balance, a dispute may arise, and the lender or grantor will investigate the matter and prepare a credit report. Once the investigation is complete, the report is sent to the bureau, which then provides it to the respective clients.
Upon receiving the report, a consumer may agree or disagree with its contents and can proceed with one of two options. Additionally, the report has three outcomes, as previously described, each of which has a distinct meaning in a credit report issued by the grantor.
