Consumer Narrative
I was at a Macys store in XXXX Florida in XXXX and was buying some items. The salesperson asked if I had or wanted a Macys credit card. I said I used to have one. Her response was that they could reinstate the account. I said that is fine as long as it doesnt involve a hard pull on my credit as I did not want my credit pulled. She replied that there would be no pull. I asked her two additional times before agreeing and she said there would be no credit pull or inquiry to reinstate that old account. Later that day I received an alert that Macys pulled my credit, hard inquiry. I did not give permission to do this and called Macy.s credit. After being transferred around I was told that the inquiry would be removed and I would get a deletion letter. It has now been over 90 days and I have received nothing. I have attempted to call them back multiple times, have held as long as 80 minutes until their system disconnected me. I contacted the credit bureaus and they said I had to call Macys. I explained that I have multiple times, so they suggested I reach out to you. I didnt authorize this credit pull and was verbally told 3 times that no hard inquiry would be done. This is an unauthorized pull of my credit and I want it off of my report.
