Consumer Narrative
I've been trying to get these fraudulent inquiries removed from my credit report for a while now. I told them that i didnt authorize any transactions from these businesses. One of those inquiries is for a gas station... i would never apply forb a gas card because my credit bureau already gives me 3 % cash back plus a whole lot more than some gas card! I also tried to explain to experian that i dont have an account with first XXXX XXXX XXXX but they said they wont fix it because im an authorized user? But they are playing games with me because everyone knows that authorized are not to have their files pulled because ita a breach of private. Im not sure why they are being difficult but I'd appreciate it if you can help me get them removed because i dont want them on my credit report.. then i can move on. Thanks you *** i just remembered that I also have a late payment on my credit report by XXXX XXXX XXXX i just forgot about it after a while because they kept playing games. I paid the account on time... it was just on a holiday ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and i was informed that no late payment would be given. Years later, when i got serious about my credit, i saw the late payment but i already had paid the loan off. SEVERAL times, I've informed the credit bureaus that I was never late but they keep saying that the account was verified? How does that even make sense when im the one who had the car and i know i was never late? Moreover, they cant even get their lies straight! XXXX says i was late on 1 month but then XXXX says another? Please help me with this situation as well so i can finally relax. Thank you
