disputed item still showing up on report

[Anonymous]

I disputed a credit card account on my report years ago.  I just got a copy of my report and there is a comment that the item has been disputed, but the account still appears on the report and the alleged owed balance still shows up.  Also at the end of the report it is included in the balanced owed summary.

Is this normal?  If so, how long can I expect this to show up on the report?   Does it still impact me negatively?  Should I try disputing this again?

When you dispute, it doesnt come off of your reports it just will be marked as disputed. If the account is derogatory, it will be on there for 7 yrs.

Is there any way to get it taken off permanently?  It's really annoying that this hasn't come off since I never opened that credit card or made the charges, and the CC company even acknowledged that as fact.
