Complaint:
Ran a credit report via XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX as I have been working hard to repair my credit from past mistakes. While reviewing it, I came to realize that XXXX XXXX has been running soft inquiries on my credit NON STOP for the last two years. When I say non stop, it is not an exaggeration. Pretty much once a week for the last two years straight. I can not stress the next statement enough ... I have NEVER applied for any sort of credit with XXXX XXXX in my entire life. Not once. Not a credit card, business credit card, loan, ANYTHING. 

I attempted to contact them for more information and to put a stop to it and got absolutely nowhere. Their outsourced customer service just repeatedly asked for my social security number AKA the last thing in the world I would be giving out over the phone in order to " look into it further ''. I offered just about any other piece of information to help them put an end to this until a supervisor at XXXX XXXX told me " we can't help you. Go file a complaint with the Credit Bureaus ''. So here I am ... and I'm furious. 

Below is the exact information I found on the XXXX  credit report I ran on XX/XX/XXXX under the " SOFT INQUIRIES '' section related to this issue ... 

XXXX XXXX Inquired on XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX UT XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX Again, at no point in my entire life did I apply for ANYTHING related to XXXX XXXX. Not once. Let alone 75+ times that they have performed these inquiries. This HAS TO BE STOPPED. I am attempting to repair my credit to secure my next car as well as purchase my first home in the next year. Things like this are going to be what holds me back and it's a joke.
