I want to emphasize that I did not provide written authorization for the inclusion of these specific transactions in my consumer report. Therefore, I am formally requesting that these accounts be blocked and removed from my report. It is crucial to clarify that this request is not due to any oversight or error on my part. Rather, it stems from the fact that I did not expressly permit these transactions to be included in my report.

She tried again at XXXX PM and then again on XX/XX/year>, my Equifax Credit Report still could not be accessed by the credit union. 


At XXXX : XXXX XXXX, once again contacted Equifax Credit and the representative told me that was credit report was frozen and that I needed to mail, a copy of my driver 's license and social security card to them prior to allowing 3rd party access to me Equifax Credit Report.

Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: TRANSUNION INTERMEDIATE HOLDINGS, INC. (TX)

I checked my credit TransUnion report in XXXX 2019 and noticed several unauthorized inquiries. I called TransUnion XX/XX/2019 and informed them that the inquiries were unauthorized and illegal. I called twice and both representatives said that they could not dispute inquiries because they were factual pieces of information on my report. I responded to them by saying that the inquiries were illegal and unauthorized, but also that they were damaging my credit rating and needed to be removed immediately. The FCRA says that lenders have to have my permission to pull the report and provide a firm offer of credit, neither of which occurred with these unauthorized inquiries. On XX/XX/2019, I sent TransUnion a letter listing the inquiries and explaining the same information I did in the 2 phone calls. They did not respond to my letter and the inquiries remain on my credit report.
