Complaint:
I've been trying to get a " HARD Inquiry '' removed from my Equifax report since XX/XX/XXXX with no results. Hard Inquiry from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX- I do not have any account nor have I inquired for any type of services with XXXX XXXX XXXX . I've called both companies only to be in the middle of neither Equifax or XXXX XXXX XXXX providing a resolution. They both have numerous times said to call the other and today is XX/XX/XXXX 'NO RESOLUTION '' from either entities. 
XXXX XXXX XXXX has said that I do not have an account with them, nor do they have my information for any of their products. Equifax states that they can not delete that inquiry even though XXXX XXXX XXXX is stating I do not exist on their system of records or credit inquiry for their products. 

How did Equifax generate a letter stating that the item has been verified and is accurate when XXXX XXXX XXXX does not have any records of my personal or S.S. # to their system?? I need help Equifax- I now understand why Equifax had breach problems.
