If the credit rating is factual then it can't be removed till 6-7 years has pasted. If the derog/negative information has past few years then it won't be very significant if you've paid and kept your balances low since then. If the consumer feels it's bad and has an explaination to a bad rating, he/she can put a consumer narrative on thier credit bureau. A consumer narrative is a brief explaination that can be put on the consumer's credit bureau file so that when a lender/merchant pulls a credit bureau file, they will know that the consumer has looked at thier own file and has given an explaination.

If the credit rating is NOT factual then the consumer needs to report it to the credit bureau and to the merchant to investigate before correcting the rating.
