Consumer Narrative
In XX/XX/year>, I discovered multiple unauthorized inquiries and inaccurate collection accounts on my credit report. These entries were made without my knowledge or consent, and they violate my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2. # # # Unauthorized Inquiries : Under 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ), a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer report with the explicit authorization of the consumer. The following inquiries were made without my authorization : Unauthorized Inquiries : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX - XXXX These inquiries were unauthorized and are negatively affecting my credit score. I have contacted the companies responsible, and they have no record of any authorization from me. This violates the FCRA, and I am requesting immediate removal of these inquiries from my credit report. # # # Inaccurate Collection Accounts : In addition to unauthorized inquiries, there are several collection accounts on my credit report that are inaccurately reported. Under 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( b ), furnishers of information are required to ensure the accuracy of the information provided. However, these collection accounts have been paid in full or are inaccurately reported and are damaging to my credit : Fraudulent Accounts in Collection : XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX - XXXX Despite providing all the necessary documentation and complying with the required procedures, the credit reporting agencies have failed to remove the fraudulent items within the legal time frame. These errors have negatively impacted my credit score and have created undue hardship for me.
