Consumer Narrative
I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ), 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ), and 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ). After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : XXXX XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Experia XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX Equifax XXXX XXXX TransUnion XXXX XXXX XXXX Experian Section 611 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681i ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report. Section 609 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681g ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report. Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report. Request XXXX request an immediate investigation into the listed inquiries. If it is determined that these inquiries were made without my authorization or in error, I ask that they be removed from my credit report. I also request that you provide me with an updated copy of my credit report once the necessary corrections have been made. Enclosed is a copy of my identification to verify my identity. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. Please confirm receipt of this letter and keep me informed of the progress of your investigation.
