I am new to my credit journey and these inquires are affecting my score negatively. One inquiry from XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX made on XX/XX/2022.

Another made with XXXX XXXX via website on XX/XX/2022, I followed their pre approval application and later was followed up with a phone call to come in and look at vehicle only to find out that my credit was already pulled before even arriving. I notified them of this as I am only looking around but told me it is out of their control. XXXX XXXX also hard pulled my account and even have an inaccuracy on my street address based on my report.

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
I have mailed package XX/XX/2022 to Equifax with astronomical amounts of incorrect/ inaccurate and incomplete information my credit report. I asked Equifax to correct all the information or delete the accounts. Due to these inaccuracies and incomplete information on my report it leads me to believe that my previous disputes were not address or investigated nor were they validated or verified as it pertains to most of the same accounts disputed. How can Equifax have verified/ validated these accounts when they have inaccurate and incomplete information? This is very concerning to me as I as the consumer are not being taken serious and do so believe that no real investigation has ever been done by Equifax due to the inaccurate information and incomplete information which I determined from Equifax own report that I received. I need these matters to take immediate attention and for these matters to be resolved without delay. I would love to get an answer as to how they investigated/validated/verified these disputes and my previous disputes and what companies they used to do so. I would also like to know how they came to their conclusions when they are reporting inaccurate and incomplete information then wouldn't that mean that their results would be inaccurate and incomplete and therefore in direct violation of the FCRA.
