Complaint narrative:
I am submitting this complaint because the consumer reporting agency has reported unauthorized hard inquiries on my credit report that were not initiated or authorized by me. This constitutes a violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically 15 U.S.C. 1681b ( c ) ( 1 ) ( A ) and ( B ) ( i ) and 15 U.S.C. 1681g ( a ) ( 5 ), which prohibit reporting inquiries not initiated by the consumer unless specific conditions, such as prior written consent or a firm offer of credit, are met. I did not provide any written authorization for these inquiries, and their presence on my credit report is therefore unlawful. Additionally, the agency has failed to provide documentation or evidence of a permissible purpose for these inquiries.

Complaint narrative:
I requested a pay off amount on XX/XX/XXXX which was good for XXXX  days. I gave that pay off to the other bank the same day and they sent it high priority mail and they said that it should have been received by the other bank on XX/XX/XXXX. The other bank applied the check on the loan on XX/XX/XXXX, a day after the 10 day pay off period making it accrue interest of XXXX dollars. I did not know about this until my current bank asked me for the title transfer and I said you should have received it from the other bank. So I called them and they said you still have a balance and I asked how, and they explained and I'm like that is not correct, since I gave my current bank the correct XXXX  day pay off.
