To date, there is no testimonial certificate of facts that irrefutably display that I did indeed knowingly and agreeably authorize anyone employed by this company to make any inquiry and view my Equifax credit report on this ( these XXXX specific dates alleged if any dates ever at all. It is my contention that either the Original Creditor ( s ) have ( has ) violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 1681b ( c )., or can not or will not demonstrate evidence of doing so compliantly to reporting standards as requisite by consumer reporting regulatory laws and practices. Might it be that in reality that they were not legally entitled to make these potentially fraudulent inquiries?

If need be I will require that you advised them that if they can not provide me with proof that I authorized them to view my credit report then I am within my consumer and civil rights in my demanding that they contact the credit bureaus, including you Equifax, immediately so to adequately make rectifiable removal of every one even each any and or all of the deficient of compliant unauthorized and or fraudulent hard inquiries which clearly lack demonstrated permissible purpose as required.

To that end, further, I am also requesting that they remove any and all of my personal information from their records.
