Unauthorized Hard Inquiries : I also request immediate removal of the following hard inquiries, which I did not authorize : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> These inquiries have negatively impacted my credit score and were made without my permission.
