There are occasions where an error will occur on your credit report, here's how to dispute these errors directly with the credit reporting agency:

Disputing late payments & derogatory marks

Negative marks such as late payments negatively impact your score. There are two ways to dispute these. First: you can contact the bank/lender and request for them to remove the mark from your credit file. This will remove it from reports from all 3 bureaus. If the error is instead specific to your Experian credit report, you can create an account with Experian to directly submit a dispute.

Fixing Inaccurate information

If you notice inaccurate information on your report such as closed accounts showing as still open, payments history being incorrect, or other inaccuracies, feel free to also create an account with Experian online and submit a request.

There maybe some variation in terms of when Experian receives your data resulting in delayed updates. In general your score and credit report are refreshed separately on a monthly basis.
