Complaint narrative:
Your Name : XXXX XXXX Address : XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Phone : XXXX Email : XXXX Date : XX/XX/XXXX Equifax Dispute Department Equifax Information Services LLC XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX Dispute of Unauthorized Hard Inquiries on Credit Report Dear Equifax Dispute Team, I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized hard inquiries on my Equifax credit report. After a thorough review of my report, I identified several hard inquiries that I did not authorize, as listed below : Disputed Hard Inquiries XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I did not authorize these hard inquiries, nor did I initiate any actions that would have resulted in their placement on my report.

Legal Basis for Dispute Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( c ), only permissible purposes may warrant hard inquiries on a consumer report. These inquiries do not align with my credit application history, nor did I grant any creditor the necessary authorization. Additionally, 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2 states that a consumer reporting agency must block the reporting of any information resulting from identity theft or unauthorized actions within 4 business days of receiving notice.

Pursuant to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) : I have a right to privacy and confidentiality under 15 U.S. Code 1681 ( Section 602 A ), and these unauthorized hard inquiries are a violation of that right.

Under 15 U.S. Code 1681i, I have the right to dispute inaccurate or unauthorized entries, and the reporting agency must investigate and correct any errors.

Requested Action Please remove the listed inquiries from my credit report within 4 business days of receiving this notice. Failure to resolve this matter may lead to further claims for statutory damages for unauthorized entries on my report, as these hard inquiries impact my credit score and financial standing without my consent. 
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to confirmation of receipt of this dispute and the resolution of my credit report. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Company: CAPITAL ONE FINANCIAL CORPORATION
State: UT

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction regarding my recent experience at XXXX XXXX XXXX during the purchase of a XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/year>. 

I worked with salesman XXXX XXXX XXXX and specifically communicated to the finance manager, XXXX, that I had pre-approval with XXXX XXXX  and wished to finance the vehicle exclusively through them. XXXX confirmed multiple times that the financing would indeed be arranged with XXXX. He also discussed various products, including gap coverage, stating that waiving it would keep my interest rate at 8.89 %. He further claimed that obtaining gap coverage could potentially reduce the rate due to XXXX being an international bank. 

To my shock, on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a call from Capital One regarding my new vehicle. I learned that the financing had been processed through Capital One, directly contradicting the assurances I received from XXXX. 

I promptly returned to the dealership seeking a resolution, but was only offered free window tintingan inadequate response given the circumstances. Furthermore, I received an email from XXXX XXXX  indicating that my loan is still pending with an approval rate of 6.14 % for {$17000.00}, which further highlights the discrepancies in the information provided by the dealership. 

I believe this situation reflects a serious misrepresentation of the financing terms, potentially aimed at maximizing profit margins at my expense. I request that you address this matter promptly and provide a satisfactory resolution. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your prompt response.
