Complaint narrative:
I seeked information regarding XXXX credit cards on XXXX separate dates. XXXX for a personal account in XXXX and XXXX for a business account in XXXX. I never submitted a request for the cards only information. Both times a hard inquiry appeared on my report. I am trying to purchase a house and I do not need these unauthorised inquiries on my report. The second inquiry I was not committing any fraud, I followed capital ones requirements of reporting a personal account while trying to open a business account. While trying to read the terms and agreements page it did not properly load and I pressed the refresh page and the application was submitted and approved and immediately I received XXXX notifications from capital one, XXXX, XXXX XXXX and credit karma that a NEW hard inquiry appeared on my personal credit report. I never requested this I immediately contacted them and asked them to remove the inquiry and they told me they withdrew the application as it was not intentionally submitted ( the account was approved ) but I didn't care and it was not my plan. I did not wish for the inquiry on my personal credit and I did not authroize it the credit report was enquired using my XXXX which is valid and up to date. On there application there was no place requesting for my personal social security number. I did not authorise this and I politely request the removal of these XXXX inquiries from my report. The same thing happened with the personal inquiry in XXXX I never requested credit from them and I never received anything from them. I was out of the country and this is why I am asking this now in XXXX and not in XXXX. Thank you

Complaint narrative:
My name is XXXX. I got out of a very abusive marriage, including financial abuse. Part of that abuse was my ex husband opening credit lines in my name without my consent, then not paying the bills. I was unaware of this until I left him because he controlled the mail and money. Most of this has been taken care of, but there is one line of credit still on my credit report, originally from XXXX XXXX originally for {$6800.00} in XXXX of XXXX, and sold of to Credit Corp Solutions. The balance is now {$7100.00}. I have filed a police report on all 3 fraudulent lines of credit and the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is investigating my ex for identity theft and fraud. 

I have relayed all of this to Credit Corp and sent them all the documentation they required showing this is fraud. I also sent them the police report, which specifically names this loan as fraud. Since then, I haven't heard a peep out of them. They will not return any contact, and their threats of legal action evaporated. However, this ding is still on my credit, negatively impacting it. The only response I have received since sending them the police report back in XXXX is today I received a generic " call customer service '' email. Other than that, nothing.
