Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally dispute several hard inquiries that have appeared on my TransUnion credit report, which I believe to be fraudulent.

Unfortunately, due to the sophisticated nature of this identity theft, the fraudulent inquiries went unnoticed until recently. Upon discovering these unauthorized inquiries, I immediately contacted TransUnion and filed a police report, outlining the details of the identity theft. 

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have the right to dispute inaccurate information on my credit report and request its prompt correction or removal. Additionally, the FCRA requires credit reporting agencies to investigate disputed items within 30 days of receiving a dispute request. I kindly request that you adhere to these legal obligations and initiate an investigation into the fraudulent inquiries mentioned above. 

To support my claim, I have enclosed copies of documents that may aid in the investigation. 

I kindly request that you thoroughly examine the evidence provided and take appropriate action to delete these fraudulent inquiries from my TransUnion credit report. Removing these inquiries is essential in restoring the accuracy and integrity of my credit profile, which has been tarnished through no fault of my own. 

Please provide me with written confirmation once the investigation is complete and the fraudulent inquiries have been removed from my credit report. Furthermore, I expect to receive an update on the progress of the investigation within the legally mandated timeframe. 

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I trust in your expertise and commitment to upholding consumer rights. Should you require any additional information or documentation, please do not hesitate to contact me at the phone number or email address provided below. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
