I am assuming the reference you made to "my record" means your
credit record.

Contact each credit bureau at their respective web sites (you
may be able to do this in one fell swoop) and file a dispute.
Each web site provides instructions and a form for the dispute.

Before you file the dispute, get your free credit report
available to everyone annually - you may also be entitled to a
free one because of the denied application, which would allow
you to avoid using the annual one. With the credit report, you
can verify the problem and subsequently refer to it in your
dispute.

Good luck.

Here are the the web sites for the three major credit agencies:
