It's usually because the lender made a mistake and reported the item as unpaid to the reporting agency. Many times a "late pay" will result in an error in your report.

If you need help clearing up any items, you can download sample letters from http://www.creditscoresystems.com .

I hope this helps you clear up the items.

Good luck!
