Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TN)

Hello, I have contacted all three credit bureau about my credit inquiries that I did not allowed or give them permission to run a credit check on me. I asked can they help me investigate the matter from XXXX, XXXX, and Transunion. I have not heard anything back from these XXXX XXXX 's. 

I was told that if a company run a credit check on me and within 14 days if I give another company to run another check on my report it will count as XXXX hard inquiry. As noted on my credit report each inquiries was ran within that time period and it shows on my report I had XXXX hard inquiries. 

From my calculation it suppose to be only XXXX inquiries not XXXX. These credit bureaus refuses to make the necessary correction to my report which is causing damaged to my repot and score. Each one of the inquires was ran around the same time period within the time frame. But it count as each individual inquiries which affected my XXXX XXXX.
