File disputes simultaneously at equifax.com, experian.com, and transunion.com or by certified mail. Be specific: state the exact error, what the correct information should be, and attach supporting documents.
Bureaus must investigate within 30 days. If the collector can't verify the accuracy of their entry, the bureau must delete it. If the investigation finds errors, the entry must be corrected or deleted.
