Consumer Narrative
Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Credit Inquiries To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute several unauthorized inquiries on my credit report, in accordance with my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ), XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ), and XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ). After reviewing my recent credit report, I have identified the following inquiries that I do not recognize or authorize : Disputed Inquiry : XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> XXXX XXXX XX/XX/year> Basis for Dispute Section XXXX ( XXXX U.S.C. XXXX ) states that I have the right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. I request that you investigate these unauthorized inquiries and remove them from my credit report. Section XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) grants me the right to access all information in my file, including the inquiries made. After reviewing this information, I firmly believe that the inquiries listed above should not be on my report. Section XXXX ( XXXX XXXX. XXXX ) defines the permissible purposes for obtaining credit reports. I did not give my consent for these inquiries to be made, and I can not find a permissible purpose under this section that justifies their presence on my report.
