Read the law on the official site →YOUR RIGHT TO QUESTION A LINE
In Alberta, you file a written protest of up to 100 words. The agency must use its best efforts to check. It must write back to you within 45 days to say what it confirmed, corrected, added or deleted. This is in the regulation, at s.3.3.

Equifax Canada · TransUnion Canada
Each letter goes to the bureau's own dispute address. We show the address when you write.
Equifax Canada →TransUnion Canada →Nothing here is legal advice. Where a card shows a quote, it is the government's own text, with the date we read it. Where it says “Quoted section coming”, we are still checking the exact section. The card gives the rule in plain words and links the official page. Accurate information stays on your report; we help you question what is wrong or out of date.
