I too have entries on my credit report like this. So, how do we fix something like this, especially when he already tried to dispute his derogatory information with the credit bureaus stating that it has been over 7 years and that apparently didn't do any good.  I'm afraid to dispute anything else on my report because it seems like it hurts me more than anything else.  I have one entry that I disputed and now all of a sudden the beginning date of the debt is like 2010 - which is absolutely not correct.
