Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports

I received alerts that an unknown Credit hard inquiry was placed on my credit report, specifically XXXX so far. 
I have not applied for any sort of credit application in over a year, and have never contacted either of the companies I have identified at any time. 
- - - Through some looking around, it appears that my personal email address was found on dark web monitoring, and I also received several emails from the same name as showed up on my XXXX report. 
I have tried contacting the company on the credit report directly ( NetCredit  ), and through several attempts to get them on the phone no one ever picks up. 
The emails indicate that it was a line of credit application of some sort, probably some sort of loan, but it appears as if it was denied - but this has not been truly confirmed yet. 
Attempting to contact the company listed in the emails that look to relate to this ( CashNetUSA ), they say my information ( Phone, SSN, Email and Name ) do not appear in their system. When pulling up by the account / application number in the email, I was told that this account was in fact denied, but was told again, that my identifying information ( Phone, SSN, Name & Email ) was not listed on this account and so they could not assist me further ( even though this same email was how I got their contact information and account number in the first place ). 
I have requested a credit freeze with XXXX, and am in the process of reporting the fraud alert to them as well. 
I am also in the process of doing the same with the other credit reporting agencies as well.
