Complaint narrative:
Please be advised this is my fourth written request and final warning that I fully intend to pursue litigation in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) to enforce my rights and seek relief and recover all monetary damages that I may be entitled to under Section 616 and Section 617 regarding your continued willful and negligent noncompliance. 
Equifax is reporting the unauthorized credit inquires on my credit report in violation of Federal Law. You are required under the FCRA to have a copy of the documentary evidence, and verify the information reported on the credit report is mine and correct. In the results of your first investigation, you stated in writing that the credit inquiries were valid and reported accurately. You are violating the FCRA because I have not signed any documents authorizing the company in question to view my credit report. Thus, the listed inquires made without my authorization and for no legitimate business purposes. 
Please also be advised that I contacted the following companies. Since they have no proof of my inquiry authorizations, written or verbal, I ask that you delete unauthorized inquiries from my credit report immediately. 
According to Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports 15 U.S. Code 1681b in general. Subject to subsection ( e ) any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( F ) otherwise has a legitimate business need for the information ( I ) in connection with a business transaction that is initiated by the consumer.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, Paragraph ( 5 ) Treatment of inaccurate or Univariable Information ( A ) in general. If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall ( i ) promptly delete. 
IMPORTANT : The following credit inquiries are not mine. Please reinvestigate this matter and delete the disputed items as soon as possible, before I am forced to take legal action against your company. The law is very clear as to the civil liability and the remedy available to me ( 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq. ) if you fail to comply with Federal Law. I am a litigious consumer and fully intend on pursuing litigation in this matter to enforce my rights under the FCRA The inquires that I am requesting to have removed are the following : 1.
