I mentioned that I had indeed complained and disputed the accuracy of the reporting of the inquiry that appeared on my credit profile via Experian website portal on XX/XX/XXXX.

Thus its their duty to contact you all and let you all know that its a dispute, identity theft report or inaccurate information. They furnished information as a third party. Per FCRA if that is correct then you all had notice, if Experian returned a letter via USP service, generally stating that you all had verified the inquiry back when this inquiry was first disputed ; on XX/XX/XXXX There is a need to ensure that consumer reporting agencies exercise their grave responsibilities with fairness, impartiality, and a respect for the consumer 's right to privacy and how that once private information furnished and maintain safe.
