disputing incorrect personal information

on my crs, my name is misspelled many different ways. i don't know how this happened since i'm always explicit about spelling my name (everyone else spells it with an "i" but mine has an "a").  also, there were a few incorrect addresses.
 
should i dispute this information online or do i need to send in something to them for the name corrections.  i have already disputed the incorrect address listed in houston. although, i do love the city, i've never lived there!
 
will they place a fraud alert when i dispute this? are there any other advantages outside the obvious having my name, addresses, etc. correct? just wondering if there is anyway i can use this in tryin to clean up my reports.
 
thanx!

Good question. I have disputed name spelling with one CRA and haven't heard anything back on it yet.I also haven't seen them put a fraud alert on there either. Interested to see what others have to say.

It's easy and CRA's fix it in days sometimes even hours. I do online disputes. Piece of cake. Smiley Happy

I did a simple dispute online & corrected names & addresses with no trouble. Others were asked to send ID  for corrections of names.
