Since Credit bureaus compile the information they receive from merchants, only the credit-granting merchant can make changes, by sending new information directly to the Credit bureau. So contact the merchant or lender if you have a dispute. And don't resolve disputes with merchants by not paying your bill; it will wind up ruining your credit!
You're entitled to post a short statement on your Credit Report, explaining any dispute. But legitimate information - good or bad - stays on your Credit Report for seven years. Late payments, judgments and chargeoffs all contribute to a report that can haunt you. Bankruptcy stays on your Credit Report for 10 years.
Ignoring your Credit Report, even if you're not planning to apply for new credit, could be a costly mistake.
