I am writing to file a formal complaint against XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TransUnion LLC, and XXXX, the three major credit reporting agencies, regarding unauthorized credit inquiries listed on my credit reports. These inquiries were conducted without a permissible purpose, thus violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and adversely affecting my creditworthiness. 

The unauthorized credit inquiries in question are as follows : Inquiry : XXXX XXXXDate of InquiryXXXX  Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXX XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXX XXXXDate of InquiryXXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXX XXXX XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXDate of InquiryXXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXX XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXXXXXX XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXXXXXX XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXX XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry:XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXX XXXXDate of InquiryXXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available Inquiry : XXXXDate of Inquiry:XXXX Contact : Not Available I have taken the necessary steps to address this issue directly with the credit reporting agencies by sending a pre-litigation dispute letter, which is attached for your reference. However, as my concerns remain unresolved, I am turning to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for assistance and intervention in rectifying this matter. 

As you are aware, the FCRA, under section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ) ( C ), mandates that a permissible purpose is required for a credit inquiry to appear on a consumer 's credit report. Permissible purposes include, but are not limited to, credit transactions initiated by the consumer, employment purposes, and with written consent of the consumer. I can affirmatively state that I did not initiate these inquiries, nor did I provide my written consent for any of them. 

These unauthorized credit inquiries have had a detrimental impact on my credit score and creditworthiness, hindering my ability to secure credit, employment, and housing opportunities. I am left with no choice but to seek the assistance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ensure that my rights under the FCRA are upheld. 

I kindly request that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against XXXX, TransUnion, and XXXX for their willful noncompliance with the FCRA. I ask for your assistance in ensuring that these unauthorized inquiries are promptly removed from my credit reports, as well as any other necessary actions to rectify this situation. 

I am willing to provide any additional information or documentation that may aid in your investigation of this complaint. Please keep me informed of the progress and outcome of your investigation. Your intervention in this matter is crucial to protecting consumers ' rights and upholding the integrity of credit reporting agencies. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to a swift resolution. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX SSn:XXXX Copy of the pre-litigation dispute letter sent to TransUnion
