I am filing this complaint because my credit reports show several unauthorized inquiries that I did not initiate or approve. These inquiries have appeared without my consent, and despite reaching out to the credit bureaus to have them removed, they remain on my reports. My disputes have been ignored or dismissed without proper investigation, leaving these inaccurate inquiries to negatively impact my credit score. This situation is both alarming and unjust, as these inquiries are not a result of any actions Ive taken.

Complaint narrative:
XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Florida XXXX XX/XX/XXXX Experian XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX XXXX Subject : Request for Reinvestigation and Correction of Credit Report Information Dear Experian, I am writing to request a reinvestigation of the information contained in my credit report in accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681i - Procedures in case of disputed accuracy, and 15 U.S.C. 1681e ( b ) - Compliance procedures to ensure maximum possible accuracy of the information. I recently reviewed my credit report and would like to ensure that all the information is 100 % correct and accurate. 
Below are the accounts I am requesting to be reinvestigated : Name of Account and Account Number : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  I request that you verify the accuracy and completeness of every piece of information related to these accounts. If any information is found to be inaccurate, I ask that it be removed from my credit report. In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681i, if you are unable to verify the accuracy of the information within 30 days, I request that the account be removed from my credit report. Furthermore, under 15 U.S.C.

1681e ( b ), I request that you ensure that all procedures followed to include this information were reasonable and guaranteed maximum accuracy. 
To reinforce my request, I cite the case XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( 1997 ), in which the court held that credit bureaus have a duty to conduct a reasonable reinvestigation when a consumer disputes the accuracy of information in their credit report. This precedent establishes that the bureau can not merely rely on the verification provided by the information source but must take additional steps to ensure that the information is accurate.

It is crucial that this matter be resolved promptly, as inaccurate information on my credit report can have detrimental effects on my financial situation and my ability to access credit fairly. In accordance with 15 U.S.C. 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ), the credit bureau must complete the reinvestigation of the disputed information within 30 days of receiving this request. I also request a copy of all documentation used in the reinvestigation and any additional information related to the process. 
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to receiving a positive response within the legally mandated timeframe. 
Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
