How do i remove very old info off credit report when i dont know the company?

Question

I just received a copy of my credit report and there is information that is 10 years old or older and the abbreviation is not helpful how can I get the information I need to contact them to fix the status of the information as inactive

Answer 1

Contact the credit reporting bureau that sent the report.  They should know the names of the companies when there is only an abbreviation.  There should also be a phone number. Good luck.

Answer 2

If you are just wanting the information removed entirely, dispute it to the bureaus as "too old" or "not mine" and see if they remove it.
