Go to the website for the credit reporting bureau (the major ones are Equifax, Experian and TransUnion) that has the error. There will be a link to the form to request a check of the incorrect entry. The agency will send the form to the creditor and ask for a correction or confirmation that it is correct. If the creditor says it is correct, you can place an objection or your explanation why it is incorrect on your report. That will go out with the credit report whenever it is requested.
I suggest making sure you have a proper objection before you do that. Consult a local lawyer.
