Consumers have been able to challenge adverse entries in their reports for years. Reporting companies are required to investigate and remove said item if it can't be substantiated. Furthermore, the consumer is required to be told when a credit report was used to as a basis of an adverse decision and is entitled to request a copy of that report, even if they have their free annual report allowance used already.

Its already recorded and shows up the free annual report.
