They have a process for challenging, but it is difficult, and in some cases impossible to get bad information removed. The IRS put a tax lien on my partner's credit report in error three years ago, claiming he owed them 30K when they actually owed him 12K. It dropped his score more than 80 points and we have been fighting since to get it removed. If they were a private company he could sue them under the fair credit reporting act, but try suing the IRS.
