Can I dispute my bankruptcy information on my credit reports?

Cole asked:
I filed bankruptcy, chapter 7, in 2004, but I’ve just noticed that all the major credit reporting agencies are reporting inaccurate information. My case number is inaccurate on all three as well as what type of court my bankruptcy was filed in, and one even has the date wrong. I’ve also read that the credit reporting agencies will never be able to verify this information to fix it because courts will not verify over the phone, and therefore will have to remove it from my credit. Is this true?
