Consumer Narrative
Hello, I hope your day is going well and you and your family have been staying safe during these trying times. I just received my credit report and was going through it like I normally do yearly and noticed again these inquiries for accounts I never requested to open. These are fraudulent and the first investigation for my complaint was a failure. I never engaged in giving this company consent to obtain my information. They unlawfully obtained my credit report. I made numerous calls sent numerous letters and I had no choice but to file a complaint. Attached please find my identification along with the IDENTITY THEFT Report please remove these inquiries I never asked to get any accounts or loans with these companies.
