Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: EQUIFAX, INC. (NY)

Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered several hard inquiries that I did not recognize or authorize. These false inquiries appeared on both XXXX and Equifax reports and included entries from various banks, auto dealerships, and finance companies. It seems that these inquiries were either the result of clerical errors or potentially unauthorized attempts to access my credit information, possibly indicating identity theft. 

I did not apply for credit with these institutions, nor did I seek any new auto financing around the time these inquiries were made. To address this issue, I have contacted the creditors involved to verify the legitimacy of these inquiries. I am also in the process of disputing the unauthorized inquiries with the credit bureaus to have them removed from my report. Additionally, I have placed a fraud alert on my credit files to protect against any further unauthorized activity and am closely monitoring my credit reports for any other discrepancies.
