Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to dispute a fraudulent unauthorized inquiry that appears on my credit report from Capitol One Bank. After receiving a credit alert on XX/XX/year> while riding the train home from work I discovered an inquiry that I did not authorize. Since the incident I immediately froze my credit with all 3 credit bureaus and have placed fraud alerts as well. 

The inquiry I am disputing is as follows : Capitol One Bank - Inquiry Date : XX/XX/year> Application ID # XXXX. 

I already hold a Capitol One Bank card that I have had for several years and did not apply for any additional lines of credit and I did not authorize any inquiry with Capitol One Bank on the dates listed above. The presence of these unauthorized inquiries has harmed my creditworthiness and my ability to obtain new credit. As per the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I request that you investigate this inquiry for removal.

On XX/XX/year>, I sent XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX a written debt validation request regarding an alleged XXXX XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX, reference number XXXX. I asked for the required validation under the FDCPA, including proof of the debt, payment history, and their legal authority to collect. 

The company never responded and never provided any validation.

By ignoring my validation request and continuing to furnish information to the credit bureaus, the company violated : FDCPA ( 15 USC 1692g ( b ) ) continuing collection activity without validating the debt FCRA ( 15 USC 1681s-2 ) furnishing information they can not validate and failing to investigate the dispute
