Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/XXXX I wrote a dispute to all consumer reporting agencies, XXXX, Equifax and XXXX about all the unauthorized hard inquiries that they are reporting. My letters have been ingnored by XXXX and XXXX and Equifax claims that they are valid inquiries with no proof of validation or a method of verification which clearly shows that they did not conduct a proper investigation or an investigation at all most likely. Under the FCRA it clearly states that under permissible purpose what constitutes a valid hard inquiry. 1. A firm offer of credit 2. Insurance 3. A court order 4. Employment I don't know how these all got on my report because I didn't give permission or sign off any kind of authorization to run my credit nearly 50 times. I want them deleted immediately along with the personal information that is also inaccurate or outdated.

1. The following personal information is outdated/invalid and needs to be deleted.
