Check the facts
Record the original field and updated date for each report, the dispute or issuer case number, response date, and the replacement field. Keep before-and-after copies.
Next steps
If one bureau remains wrong, send its report page and the issuer's written correction to that bureau and the furnisher. Verify the subsequent update.
