He's wrong about Credit Reporting Agencies verifying that information is correct. They do not investigate anything. All they do is contact the creditor and "verify" the information is correct. If the creditor said it is, then the listing is now "verified" and they will not do anything about it. It is up to the consumer to fight with the creditor. They are the only people who can edit/delete any credit listing. If the listing is correct, there is nothing you can do to get it removed. You can place a statement into your credit report explaining why you were late/didn't pay, but it rarely sways a creditor who is looking at your report. And credit scoring does not even recognize the statements, so it doesn't help that at all. Your only hope is if you send a dispute letter to the credit bureau, the credit fails to respond to it. In those cases the listing is deleted.<br><b>References : </b><br> David H is mostly correct. He’s wrong about Credit Reporting Agencies verifying that information is correct.

You admit it yourself that it is your fault. The only way to do what you ask is to go to the bank, who holds your mortgage and ask them to correct it. But if you were a jerk and didn't pay your bills on time then they will not give it to you.<br><b>References : </b><br> If you were really late why are you trying to dispute it?
