Your question is unclear. If you have a dispute with a charge on your statement (unrecognized or fraudulent charge), simply contact your issuing bank and advise them via the toll-free number printed on the back of the card. The charge will be put into a dispute file and a temporary credit will be issued. All finance charges on that particular charge are suspended until the dispute resolution process has been completed. If you have a problem with how your bank is treating you (not a merchant, but the bank) you should contact their customer service number and attempt to resolve it through them - you'll be surprised just what a bank will do these days to preserve your business! If unsuccessful, you should contact the Federal Trade Commission. Addresses are available at www.ftc.gov. Finally, if your dispute is with an error on your credit report, you must file a dispute with the issuing agency (Experian, Equifax etc.) and they will take measures to clean up your report! You get a complimentary look at your credit report from all three agencies at www.annualcreditreport.com. Follow the on-screen instructions if there is activiity on your report that is incorrect. Hope this answers your question!

Where can one find more information on their credit bureau score?
You can obtain more information on your credit bureau score by contacting the major credit bureaus directly. Each of the three main credit bureaus in the United States — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — provide credit reports and scores. You can visit their websites or call their customer service hotline to get more details about obtaining your credit bureau score.
What if your credit report is missing information?
Your credit report may not reflect all your credit accounts. Although most national department store and all-purpose credit card accounts will be included in your file, not all creditors supply information to credit reporting agencies: Some travel, entertainment, gasoline card companies, local retailers, and credit unions are among those creditors that don't. If you've been told you were denied credit because of an "insufficient credit file" or "no credit file" and you have accounts with creditors that don't appear in your credit file, ask the credit bureau to add this information to future reports. Although they are not required to do so, many credit agencies will add verifiable accounts for a fee. You should, however, understand that if these creditors do not report to the credit agency on a regular basis, these added items will not be updated in your file.
How long does NY state keep negative credit information on file?
New York state does not "keep" credit information. National repositories, like Equifax, Experian, Trans Union and Innovis, keep credit information. There may be smaller, local credit agencies affiliated with the big three (the first three) which have consumer's files. Credit information remains for a long time. Certain aspects, like the opening date, is used to calculate credit scores for decades. Certainly basic data, such as indentifying information like your name, addresses, date of birth and social security number are kept throughout a consumer's life. Derogatory information is shielded after 7 - 10 years, (it still exists and can be accessed if your credit is pulled with specific parameters). This statute of limitations is set by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The FCRA CAN be superceded by state law, when applicable.

Yes a dispute can take 30 days.
