As such, your inquiry into my credit report violates theFair Credit Reporting Act, Section 1681b ( c ) : Transactions Not Initiated by Consumer. 

If you have any document that you believe authorizes you or your organization to make theaforementioned inquiry/inquiries into my credit report, I respectfully request that a copy of itbe sent to my address so that I may verify its validity. Given the growing cases of identitytheft, I'm sure that you'll agree with me that verification will protect both our interests.In the event that you do not possess my authorization, I request that once you haveremoved all unauthorized inquiries from my credit profiles, you should also remove all of mypersonal information from your records. Please send me confirmation that you havecomplied with these requests. 

Thank you.
