Am I just unlucky or are the Local results just total ********

I run a small regional listings magazine. I have submitted nothing to Bing so they have picked a postal address from our website. Not the magazine's of course but the distributor's

They have then given us a second entry using the address of one of the venues that we list and both entries have been given the box office number of a different venue.

I have submitted reports about these being wrong. Do they pay any attention and if so how long should I expect this nonsense to be on-line?

EDIT
I expanded the results and found another entry of the same type plus other organisations getting the same errors.

According to recent information, the Bing Quality team is raising its profile and wants to hear about these problems. [webmasterworld.com...]

A month down the line and, despite reporting, they are still making me look like a crook by publishing a false address and phone number under my site name.

do you use a Bing Webmaster Tools account? I believe you can remove specific listings there. better to not show if they can't/won't fix it. I have an account but it is such a pain to use I stay away.

No I don't and it is totally unacceptable to need to open an account to stop them publishing false information about me.
