Complaint:
Inquiries XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I noticed some unauthorized credit inquiries on my credit report and I'm concerned that my privacy rights have been violated. I did not authorize anyone at these companies to make an inquiry into my credit report and I would like you to investigate this and provide me with any documentation you have with my signature. If these inquiries are found to be fraudulent, I would like them to be immediately deleted from my credit file. 
This is not right! I received a credit report from you, and there are some companies on it that I'm unfamiliar with. It looks like they put an inquiry on my file without me knowing, but this shouldn't be possible unless it's something approved by me first! The U.S. Code 15 USC 1681 ES Seg Section 604 states that all users must have a permitted purpose under the Fair Reporting Act to obtain consumer reports. Please remove these inquiries or forward documentation proving they should be on my report. 
.I 'm not happy with this! I received my credit report from you, and there are some companies on here that I don't recognize. It looks like they put an inquiry on my file without me knowing- but I shouldn't have to deal with this unless it was something approved by me first. The U.S. Code 15 USC 1681 ES Seg Section 604 states that all users must have a permitted purpose under the Fair Reporting Act in order to obtain consumer reports. Please remove these inquiries or forward documentation proving they should be on my report.

I believe someone has requested my credit file without my knowledge and I would like this removed or proof provided that you have permission to pursue this course of action under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Please send me documentation showing compliance with FCRA guidelines. Thank you. 
I just received my credit report and was shocked to find this inquiry on it. As you know, this is not something that should have been reported! The Fair Credit Reporting Act states no one may access your information without permission from YOU first so please provide me with proof of what reason they had giving them the right to do so by furnishing documentation containing signatures showing I indeed applied for a loan or line-of business venture through their company as well as any other relevant details.
