I recently placed a fraud alert on my credit file that indicates anyone who runs my credit needs to call me. I have pulled my credit report and noticed that there are inquiries on my report that I did not authorize nor was I notified that my credit was being pulled and this action violates my consumer rights. I have reached out to credit bureaus numerous times about this situation to notify them that my credit was pulled without my authorization. I've contacted the creditors about these inquires and I was notified that they were in the process of being deleted.They have yet to be deleted. These inquiries are fraudulent inquiries and should be removed from my report. I have not received a proper response from Equifax about this matter.
