You don't have to write to all three credit bureaus, but it's a good idea. They do not share information with one another, so correcting false data with one does not correct it with the other two. They all calculate scores differently. You have no way to know which bureau is going to be used by which creditor, so you want to make sure all of them have the most correct information.

Good question. There are a few tactics to remove collections from your credit report; First, is the debt paid off?

If the debt has not been paid yet, typically, you can negotiate with the creditor to remove the collection account from your credit report if you pay the debt (WARNING!!! make sure this is stated in writing before you send any money).

If the credit pulls were not authorized, write a letter to each of the bureaus that are reporting the inquiries, and let them know that they were not authorized.

If you did authorize the credit pulls, then this information will likely stay on your credit report for 1-3 years.

Can you get information removed from credit report that is almost 7 years old?
Depends on what you want taken off. If it is something reflecting good on your credit report than you want to keep it on there. That's what is helping your score. If it reflects bad and you dont owe the debt anymore, than write into all 3 credit bureaus disputing the debt, then the the bureaus will send a letter to the company for validation. The company has up to 10-20 days to respond. Once the company responds stating whether or not you owe the matter the credit bureaus will remove it if you dont owe it or notify you that you owe the debt.
