The Fair Credit Reporting Act requires creditors to report your account accurately, and the credit bureaus are required to maintain records that match the reporting. The bureaus are not responsible for the accuracy of the reported account information as they do not have access to the account records for each creditor. If you dispute the accuracy of an item, they request a response from the creditor, at which point the creditor must either show that your dispute is invalid, that your dispute is indeed valid, or fail to respond in a timely manner (failure to respond will mean the dispute is accepted and the item corrected or removed).
The credit reporting companies have a dispute form that you can use to dispute anything that is wrong on your credit report. Ask for this form or send a letter detailing the information in your report and explain why it is incorrect. They will investigate the matter and send you their findings. If it is incorrect they will remove it from your report.
