Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to demand the immediate removal of unauthorized hard and soft inquiries from my credit report. In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( **FCRA** ), specifically **15 U.S.C. 1681**, and under the authority of the **Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) **, I have the right to accurate reporting of my credit history. After reviewing my credit report, I have identified multiple inquiries that were made without my authorization or permissible purpose. These inquiries are as follows : Please note that I **authorized inquiries** from XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and XXXX XXXX. All other inquiries on my credit report are unauthorized and must be removed immediately. 

Legal Basis for Removal : 1. **15 U.S.C. 1681b ( f ) ** : Credit reports may only be accessed by parties with a permissible purpose. If an inquiry was made without my explicit consent or a transaction initiated by me, the inquiry is unlawful and should be removed.

2. **15 U.S.C. 1681c ( a ) ( 2 ) ** : Credit bureaus must ensure the accuracy and completeness of consumer reports. Any unauthorized or erroneous inquiries must be removed to maintain the integrity of the report.

3. **15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ** : I have the legal right to dispute any inaccurate or incomplete information on my credit report. Upon receipt of this dispute, the credit bureau is required to investigate the matter within 30 days and correct or remove any inaccuracies.

4. **15 U.S.C. 1681s-2** : Furnishers of information, such as creditors or companies making the inquiries, are legally required to provide accurate information. Any inquiry made without my explicit consent violates this statute and must be corrected or removed.

Action Requested : - **Immediate removal** of all unauthorized inquiries from my credit report.

- Written confirmation that these inquiries have been deleted.

- Assurance that no further inquiries will be added to my credit report without my explicit consent.

Failure to remove these inquiries in a timely manner could result in the need for further action, including filing a formal complaint with the **Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) ** and pursuing legal remedies for willful non-compliance under the **Fair Credit Reporting Act**.

Please consider this a formal dispute of the unauthorized inquiries. I expect a response and resolution to this matter within the legally mandated 30-day period, as required by **15 U.S.C. 1681i**.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

I hope you're doing well. I've run into a bit of a problem. While going through my credit report, I noticed some things that don't seem quite right, and it appears my identity have been stolen online. My nephew, who's studying XXXX XXXX, helped me out by finding a way to check if my XXXX XXXX were involved in this breach. To my surprise, it turns out that 2 out of 3 of my emails contain a lot of my sensitive and personal information. I want to emphasize that I'm not the one behind these accounts. It would mean a lot to me if you could assist in removing the following from my credit report. Please see the attached file for what I am complaining about and take immediate actions.

" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. 

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my XXXX XX/XX/XXXXaccount [ XXXX ]. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

I previously submitted a letter addressing the inaccuracies and unfamiliar items on my credit report. However, it has now been over 30 days, and I have not received a response. It appears my disputes are being disregarded, which raises serious concerns. Under Section 611 ( a ) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), credit reporting agencies are required to investigate disputed items within 30 days. If they fail to do so, these items must be removed from my report. 

As more than 30 days have passed, I expect immediate updates to my credit report reflecting the removal of these disputed accounts. Should this not be addressed promptly, I will be left with no option but to pursue legal action to resolve this issue, as the continued inaction has caused significant stress. 

Moreover, I was affected by the XXXX, Experian, and XXXX data breaches, which heightens my concern regarding the security and handling of my personal information.
