Dispute letter got denied because of one dumb line

Sent a dispute to Equifax last month about an old medical bill from 2021. I put 'not mine' but then added a sentence about how I might have paid it once. They flagged it as admitting ownership. Has anyone else shot themselves in the foot with extra info on a dispute?

Yeah, that extra sentence totally screwed you over.

Who else has given the credit bureaus a perfectly good reason to say no?
