How to dispute incorrect late payements?!

Please help!  How do I dispute incorrect late payments on my credit report.  I have letters from the companies stating we weren't late?!?
 
Thanks!!

Re: How to dispute incorrect late payements?!

I typed a letter signed it and faxed it with the proof I was never late to each CRA. Within 1 hr EX had updated the status of the account to disputed. The next day TU and EQ had the account listed in dispute as well.

Here are the fax #s I used:

EQ 866-233-3777
EX 972-390-3838
TU 610-546-4606

Thank you so much!! I will definitely have to do it that way.  What information did you provide them when you sent over the fax, and how did you confirm that those things were cleared??

Well I sent a letter from my school loan company stating I was on a forbearance from xx-xx-xx to xx-xx-xx so I had no payment due. I know they went through because I pulled my reports and the account was listed as disputed. The one I sent to EX today had an update on my report in 20 min.

so, do you have to keep pulling your own credit to verify that those things have been cleared?
 
In addition, when you write the letter to them, do you give them your ss#, etc.?

You should provide basic information to the CRA to ensure they can verify who you are. I list as much information about the account I'm disputing then tell them what the problem is and what I want them to do about it. Then I sign it and include my SSN, and address under my name to verify who I am. Once your dispute is complete the CRA will send you an updated copy of your report.

About a week from the time they showed on TC until I got a copy from the CRA.

BTW, I sent the letter and when I checked my TU FICO this morning they had already removed the late payment.
