Consumer Narrative
I received a letter in the mail today informing me that I was not approved for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX applied for in my name on XX/XX/2022. I did not apply for this card or any other in recent history. TransUnion shows the information submitted to the company as being an old phone number ( not current ), my first and last name, and my address. My credit score dropped XXXX points for the hard inquiry due to its chronological proximity to a pull done for a credit card I opened two months ago. I did not apply for this card ; TransUnion does not allow you to dispute inquiries, so that's a problem in and of itself. The issue with XXXX is that I don't know how this bank got my information in an application and THEN failed to perform adequate checking to make sure the information belonged to the applicant.
