Hi Sadie -
Yes, you can have it fixed. Easiest way to do so - and ensure it's done correctly - is to file a dispute by mail - you can download the dispute forms from the credit bureau websites. You'll need to include copies of a couple of forms of ID -- acceptable ID types should be listed on the dispute form that you download. Mail that out and give them a couple of weeks to update the corrections. They'll let you know when the update is complete.
You could also try disputing online - but in my experience, by mail worked out better because the online dispute to remove name variations resulted in the removal of only one... as opposed to all 5 incorrect variations. My mailed dispute worked perfectly... perhaps because I was able to be more detailed in the correspondence.
