Complaint narrative:
Concerns of False Inquiries Reported on XXXX, XXXX, And XXXX Credit reports/ Credit File I noticed inquiries on my credit report that I have no knowledge of. I have NOT given anyone permission or consent to view, access or use my credit report for any reason, I am giving you as much information as I can to help you with this deletion demand so please feel free to utilize this information.

According to Section 604 FCRA, I would greatly appreciate if you would kindly provide me for what they call a permissible purpose or proof that I applied or initiated these inquiries from each company as I am concerned about my security and privacy of my credit, something that I take pride in. I also understand that written authorization for all inquiries listed have to be documented and proven if reported. If you have NO proof or evidence with supporting documents, please have these unauthorized inquiries deleted immediately. If concluded online or internet, please provide the IP Address associated with the authorized inquiry which I seem to have serious doubts it was done.

I have also contacted the creditor in question and they claim they have NO proof either, of each initiated inquiry, no written authorization documented, and each company has failed to provide to me a permissible purpose or proof and now for me, this is a major concern. Because they do not have my proof of authorization, whether written or verbal, I am demanding you to kindly delete these inquiry ( s ) from my credit report of XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX because it is unproven, non-compliant, and unverified as there is absolutely no evidence or proof of my authorization of a permissible purpose.
