You don't. Credit bureaus are regulated businesses who accept entries from their paying clients. Those clients must meet legal criteria to access and imput data to a consumers' credit file. There is no way that an individual would qualify, even if that person were willing to pay the fees. An individual has the option of filing a case against someone who owes them money. Given proof that withstands the rigors of law; if a judgment were granted, that judgment would be recorded in the public records. This type of public record is routinely included in credit reports.

You have to prove that you do not owe the debt. If it goes to court. A way to do that would be canceled checks, money order receipt, credit card or bank statement. If this is just an account in collection, the collection agency must prove you owe the debt. Demand, in writing, that evidence be produced showing you clearly owe the debt. If it has reached your credit report or credit file, dispute the listing on your report with the credit bureau. Tell them why you do not owe the debt. Having a document like I recommended above when you would be in court, is helpful when disputing with the credit bureau. Best of luck.
