Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Hard Inquiries Request for Removal Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to formally dispute multiple unauthorized hard inquiries that have appeared on my credit report. These inquiries were made without my authorization, and I have not applied for credit with these institutions. As these inquiries are negatively affecting my credit score, I am requesting their immediate removal.

I have already attempted to resolve this issue directly with the credit bureaus ( Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion ), but these inquiries have not been removed, which is why I am escalating this matter to the CFPB.

Requested Resolution I request that CFPB intervenes in this matter and directs the credit bureaus to : Immediately remove all unauthorized hard inquiries listed above.

Provide written confirmation that these inquiries have been removed.

Ensure that my credit report reflects only valid and authorized inquiries.

Supporting Documents I have attached : Screenshots of my credit report showing the disputed inquiries.

Copies of my previous disputes with the credit bureaus.

Any relevant correspondence with the credit reporting agencies.

I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter and look forward to a resolution.
