Dear CFPB, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to report a grave matter that has shaken my financial well-being and sense of security. My purpose in reaching out to you is to seek your assistance and guidance in rectifying a situation involving multiple unauthorized hard inquiries on two of the three major credit bureaus. If not all!!

Over the past several weeks, my financial life has been turned upside down due to what I believe to be a case of identity theft. I have discovered a series of unauthorized hard inquiries on two of the three major credit bureaus, each of which has left an indelible mark on my credit profile. The following companies have made these inquiries without my consent : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  These unauthorized hard inquiries have not only impacted my credit score but have also raised concerns about my personal information being compromised. I have taken immediate steps to freeze my credit and report the potential identity theft to the authorities.

I kindly request that the CFPB intervenes and conducts a thorough investigation into these unauthorized hard inquiries. I am reaching out to you with a heavy heart, as I am a victim of what appears to be a deliberate act to undermine my financial stability and personal security. 

Please guide me on the steps I should take to rectify this situation and prevent further damage to my financial reputation. Your assistance in resolving this matter is of utmost importance to me. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this pressing issue. You can reach me at [ Your Phone Number : XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX ] or [ Your Email Address : XXXX ] if you need any additional information or documents to proceed. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

However, if they failed to do so, they are obliged to remove or update the items which are erroneous and unverified.
