Consumer Narrative
On XX/XX/2023 I received notification that a hard inquiry hit my report Via XXXX XXXX. I contacted the company to let them know that I did not authorize the inquiry, and I was told that I would need to wait 5 days until it could be reversed. I continually tried to call the company until I was told I would have to dispute with the credit bureaus.
