All you are
All you aredoing is demanding the CRA prove that they can verify what they are reporting (no more, no
less).

I think it's an interesting post and must say I do agree with much of what you said, but I am a little surprised the FICO admin has not chimed in. Tuscani, this is what I got out of your inital post. An example here not a true event or story. I pulled my three CRs and noticed 15 inqs on them mostly from recent CC apps. Knowing this is hurting my score, I dispute all of them with the CRAs as not mine or inaccurate while knowing full well they are mine and they are reporting accurately. I am a little surprised, you commonly state in your posts that you should not dispute accurate information in your credit reports. Has something changed. I have read countless threads and posts at other forums where they take credit repair to notches unknown, employing ruthless guerilla tactics on creditors.

This just happenend to me....
I sent a GW to AT&T re a 3 yo paid collection of $200. A nice lady called me up yesterday and said that since AT&T bought out the local phone company, my record of that Paid Collection had been purged from the system, it no longer exists. She said go ahead and dispute with the CRA's and when they can't confirm it will be deleted from my records. What a nice lady
It's my Paid Collection no doubt, but if I can get it off my report, I'm gettin it off. And won't lose a bit of sleep over. Keep in mind that I did pay a price for that collection. Higher Interest rates, etc. But to get an early break on it is no problem as far I'm concerned.
Hey, murderers get 20y.o. sentances and get out after 5 for good behavior. I've been good too. 
Live Long and Prosper,

Gotta respectfully disagree with you here, Tusc. I could make a nice little legal argument that fully supports your position. But ethics are another story.Let's say a piece of info is correct, e.g., you (colloquial "you") were 60 days late. Suppose you don't know whether or not it's correct. Or you believe it's incorrect. OK, go ahead and dispute it.Now suppose that you know plain well that it is correct. You dispute it, but not because you have some noble intent to force the CRAs to do their job. We all have better ways to spend our time. Seriously. You dispute it because you're hoping you get lucky and they delete it. I think there's an ethical issue there.You are arguing that your knowledge of the correctness of the item is irrelevant in this ethical dilemma. I think your knowledge and intent has everything to do with it. JMHO.
I hear you. But I do feel that knowing is irrelevant. How do you know that my intentions are not strictly noble? And assuming they are, why shouldn't the CRAs delete! If my intentions are not noble, why should I scrutinize myself for the CRAs not doing their job to verify.
Nonetheless, I think we can all agree that there is quite the fine line between legality and ethics.
I wouldn't say things have changed.. While we do technically frown upon disputing accurate items, whether or not you want to challenge the system based upon your ethical standards is up to you. No one here can tell you what you can and can't do, and disputing is not illegal.
