Subject : Dispute of Unauthorized Credit Inquiries What Happened? 
I previously submitted an official complaint to the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ) concerning unauthorized inquiries appearing on my credit report. The complaint was filed on XXXX XXXX, under FTC Reference Number XXXX. 
Complaint Description : My credit report reflects unauthorized inquiries that were made without my explicit consent. I have contacted the creditors responsible for these inquiries, and they have confirmed they possess no evidenceneither written nor verbalthat I authorized or initiated these inquiries. This clear lack of valid authorization constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 
I have formally demanded the immediate removal of these inquiries, as they are baseless and negatively impact my credit profile. However, the credit bureau in question has failed to provide a satisfactory resolution or appropriate action. This failure to address unauthorized inquiries prompted me to escalate the matter by filing a formal complaint with the FTC. I urge the immediate removal of these illegitimate inquiries to ensure compliance with federal regulations and to restore the integrity of my credit report.
