I had four things on my report that were not my fault at all and were reported in error of incorrectly. It took FOREVER for them to fix it and I got responses from the companies that one company removed an item and another didn't. I kept at the ones who didn't and eventually got them removed. I have also found that if you don't accept the first response and keep at it, the older the item, the better chance that they'll just remove it. Like you said, the burden of proof is theirs and many times they just don't have the energy to keep fighting you. I’ve had good results with this!
