Re : Dispute of Unauthorized Hard Inquiries on [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] 's Credit Report To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to dispute unauthorized hard inquiries that are present on my credit report. As a responsible consumer, I understand the importance of accurate credit reporting, and I am exercising my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) and other applicable consumer protection laws. 
The unauthorized hard inquiries I am disputing are as follows : [ XXXX  XXXX XXXX ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX  XXXX ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX  XXXX  ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] and [ XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX  XXXX ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX  ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] and [ XX/XX/XXXX ] and [ XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] and [ XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] [ XXXX ] - Inquiry Date : [ XX/XX/XXXX ] Please note that I did not authorize or initiate these inquiries, nor did I provide written or oral consent for these parties to access my credit report. According to Section 604 ( a ) ( XXXX ) of the FCRA, a credit reporting agency may furnish a consumer 's report only under limited circumstances, such as when a consumer has given written or oral permission or when the transaction is initiated by the consumer. In this case, neither of these conditions has been met. 
As required by the FCRA, I kindly request that you conduct a prompt and thorough investigation into these unauthorized hard inquiries and remove them from my credit report. Under Section 611 of the FCRA, you must complete this investigation within 30 days of receiving my dispute letter. 
Please send me written confirmation that you have received this dispute and an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the removal of these unauthorized inquiries. If you determine that these inquiries were indeed authorized, please provide proof of my consent in writing. 
I appreciate your attention to this matter and expect a timely resolution in accordance with the FCRA and other applicable consumer protection laws. 
Thank you for your cooperation.

Experian has false accounts and information on my personal credit report. There is no consistency with what Experian is reporting versus what is on any of my other credit reports. I noticed XX/XX/2024 while obtaining my 3 bureaus report from XXXX ; that Experian has my social security number and my birth date are completely wrong. After noticing this I called Experian to resolve this issue and get a copy of my credit report directly from them and I was informed that they can not supply me with my personal credit report and it was because I was giving them a social security number that doesnt match what they have on file. Ive gotten my credit report from Experian in the past I have NO IDEA why there has recently been this change to my social security number in their records. I have attached my drivers license along with my social security card so that they may identify me correctly.

I am stressed and displeased that i see this negative, unauthorized fraudulent account on my credit report. This is really damaging my credit worthiness. I am trying to start a business for me and my family and this is not fair. I have tried several times to get these accounts removed. Let alone, my information was in an Experian & XXXX breach some months age so I figured you all would protect my consumer report. I do not feel my information is being protected. This is defamation to my character and is a federal law violation. According to 15 U.S.C, 1681 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) my consumer report fairness and privacy has been violated. I AM upset!! I AM depending on the banking system and credit reporting agencies to promote my privacy and fairness and they haven't. This is not right, going against my federal consumer rights, causing emotional and mental stress. Also, it is illegal, neglect, and fraud for companies and should not be furnishers of people 's information to 3rd parties. I have reported this to the proper legal departments. Including FTC. This is negatively affecting my livelihood and putting me in a bad space. These companies and credit bureaus can be sued. I feel your database is inaccurate and I am thinking about filing ligation, if negative items are not removed IMMEDIATELY. I am suffering.

I reviewed my credit report on XX/XX/XXXX. I noticed that some things were not accurate. According to the fair credit reporting act whenever a consumer reporting agency prepares a consumer report it shall follow reasonable procedures to provide maximum accuracy of the information concerning about who the report relates. This account is not accurate. I notified in writing and online Experian that XXXX listed on my credit report as late in XXXX of XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. This account is closed and paid in full. It is however reporting payment schedules as inaccurate. All payments were made on time and not late.

I discovered this company XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX had been reporting XXXX fraudulent credit card accounts on my credit reports when I obtained my credit reports on or about XX/XX/XXXX, following my denial of favorable auto loan financing on or about XX/XX/XXXX with an auto lender. Subsequent to discovering these fraudulent accounts, I immediately alerted the the company each of the credit bureaus, the FTC and filed identity theft reports with my local police department. I contacted this company by telephone multiple times and spoke at length with several different representatives from their internal XXXX department to file a complaint and learn more information about the details of the nature of the company and how the fraud was able to transpire. Each representative I spoke with asked me a series of security questions such as my phone number, email address, bank account numbers, XXXX, XXXX, and other personal information and informed me that their conclusion was that the accounts were indeed opened by someone else who had been using my identity, but different contact and banking information. I was provided a report number and informed that an internal review of their findings by a higher department would be concluded within XXXX business days and that I should expect to see these accounts deleted from my credit reports " very soon. '' That was over XXXX days ago and I have yet to receive any communications from this company and these fraudulent items are still reporting on my credit reports. I also received communication from the credit bureaus via updated credit reports around XX/XX/XXXX, stating that this company had initially certified to the credit bureaus that these accounts were being reported accurately despite my initial request to the bureaus that this information be blocked due to being the result of identity theft, which also further violated my rights under federal law.

An account was opened fraudulently in my name through XXXX / XXXX earlier this year. I learned of this from a credit alert something like a month after the account was opened. I immediately contacted the creditor, as well as the three reporting agencies, which wasted a lot of my time. I have young children and a demanding job, and this sort of thing truly damages me as it takes time that I truly do not have, to try and fix it. The creditor was extremely slow at resolving the issue, and the credit reporting agencies were uniformly useless in helping me to resolve the issue. After maybe 2 months, and many, many phone calls and e-mails, XXXX XXXX XXXX finally issued me a letter indicating that the account was fraudulent and that they were closing it. I had already disputed the account many times with the credit agencies, and they had determined repeatedly to leave the information on my credit reports. I sent the letter from XXXX XXXX XXXX to all three credit agencies after receiving it, in support of new " dispute '' instances. One of the agencies ( I think XXXX ) responded appropriately and removed the account from my credit report. Experian just sent me an update today, indicating that they were not removing the account from my credit report!!! What?!? I am beyond frustrated with our credit reporting system. I believe that the right resolution here would be for Experian to compensate me several thousands of dollars for my lost time dealing with their inability to do their one job. I have indicated to them in disputes that they are broadcasting false information about me, and thereby damaging me personally. They continue to passively damage me due to their negligent and disrespectful handling of my information, and their executive management should be held to account for that. I hope that CFPB can help me resolve this, and ideally punish Experian for this unlawful behavior, in a way that makes them correct their practices. I'm sure I'm not alone here, and would gladly support a class-action lawsuit against Experian for this kind of unlawful behavior- this seems like the reason the FCRA exists XXXX and it needs some teeth. Experian should not be able to passively damage individuals due to their negligence, and they should be shut down permanently if they can't be swiftly corrected. I'm similarly awaiting resolution from XXXX for the same problem. How much personal time should I lose on phone calls, e-mails, and so many online systems each with their own credentials and nonsense - to fix a problem that was created by some creditor 's inability to apply proper diligence before issuing credit? This system is busted and I think the resolution will ultimately require class-action punishment of credit reporting agencies, until they get their act together or go out of business.
