Experian Old Addresses - Any tips to remove?

[BuckyB]

A lot of wrong answers here. Old addresses can very easily be removed at any of the three bureaus by going online, creating accounts with each of them and then going in and disputing the old address. I remove all my old addresses because I don't want any confusion and oddly enough sometimes the old addresses pop back up as current addresses for some reason.

When you dispute them they will be instantly removed from your credit reports. You can do this with old phone numbers as well.

Places where you used to live are by no means "public record." Thise addresses might be IN some public records but that's about it.

I suppose this is splitting a hair here, but when I used the phrase "public record" I didn't mean something like a legal Public Record such as what results from a bankruptcy, more like publicly available historical data through the likes of LexisNexis and such.

Thanks, everyone, for your contributions here. My current address has been majorly botched by all three CRAs. It was years before they finally got it right, yet the old botched addresses remain. I'll do the online process to try to get them corrected.
