Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute and request the removal of unauthorized hard inquiries listed on my credit report. These inquiries were made without my consent or authorization, and I have not applied for any credit or services associated with these inquiries. The unauthorized inquiries negatively impact my credit score and financial well-being. 

Here are the details of the unauthorized hard inquiries : I have not initiated any financial transactions or applications with the aforementioned creditor/company on the date mentioned. Therefore, I request a immediate removal from my credit report. 

Enclosed with this letter are copies of supporting documents that demonstrate that I did not initiate these inquiries. 

Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I am entitled to accurate and up-to-date information on my credit report. I believe that the inclusion of these unauthorized inquiries violates my rights under the FCRA. 

Please consider this letter as a formal dispute under the FCRA. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. 

Thank you for your cooperation in resolving this issue.

I have contacted Venmo on three occasions requesting that my account be closed. They have responded requesting a copy of my government photo ID to verify my identity. I do not believe this is a legitimate ( or proper ) request to close my account.

It is clear that this is common practice to make the process difficult enough where customers will not pursue the account closure.
