How do I dispute a negative statement on my credit report?

I’m in the U.S. Army. Shortly after filing my indiana states taxes for 2005 I deployed to Afghanistan. I apparently owed the state revenue service around . I am pretty sure I acknowledged this before I deployed but I guess it slipped my mind.

Apparently the revenue service tried to get a hold of me (which they obviously weren’t able to) regarding the situation. Eventually, a sheriff was sent to the address listed on my Indiana state driver’s license and the state revenue service reported a no payment tax lien on my credit report.

All in all, the state got their crummy 40 bucks but I have the negative hit on my credit report.

I was turned down for a car loan because of it. Am I able to dispute this? If this had been under normal circumstances I would have been on top of things and this thing would have gotten paid before anything bad happed.

How do you know the item on your credit report is from which credit burea?

I got a credit report from a lender (the lender type of credit report), it lists 3 credit scores.

There is a same tax lien listed twice, one has account number , the other doesn’t has an account number. Which credit bureau should I contact for this issue? How do you know which item is from which credit bureau?
