    Equifax

    • 1). Access the Equifax website's page covering online disputes. The form at the bottom of this webpage asks for a few different pieces of information, such as your name, address and Social Security number. Fill out this form, skipping the credit report number field if you don't have one, and click "Submit."

    • 2). Answer the multiple choice questions asked. These questions confirm you are who you say you are, preventing other people from accessing your report. Click "Submit."

    • 3). Click the bankruptcy's account name link. Click "Dispute this item." Choose the dispute option stating the account is too old to report. Click the "Add Dispute" option.

    Experian

Order a credit report from Experian, go to Annualcreditreport.com to request a free credit report or use a credit report requested more recently than 90 days ago. Click "Yes, I have a credit report number." Experian requires customers to have a recent credit report before requesting a dispute.

    • 2). Enter the number from the first page of the credit report in the form field. Enter your personal identification information in the other fields and click "Submit."
