Consumer Narrative
I am writing to formally notify you of the unauthorized XXXX inquiry dated XX/XX/2022 that you have reported on my consumer profile. This inquiry, listed without my authorization, consent, or benefit, is a clear violation of multiple provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) as outlined in 15 USC 1681, 15 USC 1681a, 15 USC 1681b, and 15 USC 1681e ( b ). I DEMAND THAT IT BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY! According to 15 USC 1681, the FCRA ensures fair and accurate credit reporting, protecting consumers ' rights and privacy. Specifically, 15 USC 1681a defines the term " consumer report '' and what information is excluded from a consumer report. I have not authorized or consented to this inquiry, and it does not fall within the lawful criteria for inclusion in my consumer report pursuant to 15 USC 1681a ( d ) ( 2 ) ( A ). Your unauthorized inquiry violates this code by including information that does not comply with the accurate representation of my credit report. Moreover, 15 USC 1681b highlights permissible purposes for consumer reports, emphasizing the necessity of consumer consent for any inquiries or reporting activities. As I have not authorized this inquiry. You have no written instructions from me to report this inquiry. Its presence in my consumer report is a clear violation of this section. Furthermore, 15 USC 1681e ( b ) outlines the responsibilities of consumer reporting agencies to ensure maximum accuracy in the information provided. By reporting an unauthorized inquiry, you have directly contradicted this mandate, leading to the inclusion of inaccurate information on my credit profile. Your actions have caused me undue distress. This is an issue I take incredibly seriously, as the FCRA is in place precisely to prevent such situations. I demand that you immediately delete the unauthorized XXXX inquiry from XX/XX/2022 that you have reported on my consumer profile!!! Failure to comply with this request within 10 business days from the date of this letter will be considered an admission of violating the FCRA and neglecting the obligation to rectify the inaccuracies on my credit report. I expect prompt action and resolution to this matter. Any further negligence in addressing this issue will result in legal action to ensure my rights under the FCRA are protected. I anticipate your immediate attention to this matter and a written confirmation of the removal of the unauthorized inquiry from my credit profile.
