The FCRA ( federal law ) says that as a consumer, you are legally allowed to challenge the validity and accuracy of these hard inquiries.

The company pulling your credit must provide documented proof, for example a document with your signature on it, that you authorized and provided consent for the hard inquiry. If they fail to provide this documentation, then XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX must remove these inquiries from your credit report. Consumers have a right under the FCRA to challenge information in their file that they believe is incorrect. Consumer reporting agencies are required to investigate claims that there is inaccurate information, and when information is proven to be inaccurate, agencies must correct the mistake.

State: WI

Complaint narrative:
I have been in phone contact with Gurstel Law Firm in Wisconsin since Fall of XXXX and via email since XX/XX/XXXX attempting to resolve a payday loan debt from XXXX that was bought by them. The representatives have been constantly using stall tactics and giving me all these ridiculous reasons why they could not settle with me. I finally got so frustrated I started recording these calls. I informed them that I was fed up with being given excuse after excuse on why the debt couldn't be resolved. I notified them that I had been recording the calls and have proof of what they had been doing to me. The rep immediately told me he could no longer speak to me. The only person who could speak to me on a recorded call was their Lawyer XXXX XXXX. I was given his number and left him several voicemails with no return call. On XX/XX/XXXX, I sent an email to Gurstel and on XX/XX/XXXX he finally responded. We had what I thought was a good conversation. We discussed a one time lump sum offer of {$1200.00} to settle this debt in full. He stated that based on my circumstances, he felt it was a reasonable offer and would bring it to their client. He told me he anticipated a response from their client by that Friday, XX/XX/XXXX or early the following week. I have not heard from him since. I have called and left him 9 voicemails between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX without a response. I am doing my best to resolve this debt and don't know where else to turn at this point. I am just trying to fix debt that I incurred during an XXXX XXXX  where I was forced to take out payday loans to cover my exs debt so his clients wouldn't sue him for unfinished work. Please help me. I am raising XXXX children with no child support. I just want to fix my credit so I can do good things for these children.
