Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am submitting this formal complaint regarding multiple unauthorized and improper hard inquiries listed on my credit reports from various companies. These inquiries were not authorized by me, and I did not initiate any credit applications with these entities on or around the listed dates. The excessive and unauthorized nature of these inquiries has negatively affected my credit profile and score.

According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 604 ( a ) ( 3 ), a hard inquiry may only be performed with a permissible purpose and with the consumers explicit consent. I believe these inquiries were conducted in violation of FCRA guidelines.

I am listing each of the unauthorized inquiries below and requesting an immediate investigation, explanation, and removal of the inquiries from my credit report.

Relief Requested : Under the FCRA ( 15 U.S. Code 1681b ), I request that : 1. An immediate investigation be conducted into each of these hard inquiries.

2. All inquiries for which there is no signed authorization or permissible purpose be permanently deleted from my credit reports across all three bureaus ( Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax ).

3. Confirmation of these removals be sent to me in writing.

4. Credit bureaus ensure tighter controls so that such unauthorized access does not continue to happen.

Conclusion : These hard inquiries are damaging and were made without proper cause or legal consent. I request the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to hold these entities accountable for violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and ensure my rights as a consumer are protected.
