I am writing to dispute several unauthorized credit inquiries listed on my credit report. According to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) Section 609, I have the right to request the validation and verification of any information listed on my credit report.

The unauthorized credit inquiries occurred on [ Date ( s ) of Inquiries ], and I have counted a total of [ Number of Inquiries ] inquiries within the span of a single day.

The FCRA provides clear guidelines regarding permissible purposes for accessing consumer credit reports. Any inquiry made on my credit report without my explicit authorization is a violation of my rights under this act. Furthermore, such unauthorized inquiries can adversely affect my credit score and financial standing.

I am formally requesting the immediate removal of these unauthorized inquiries from my credit report. Additionally, I expect a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding these inquiries to prevent similar occurrences in the future. As per FCRA Section 609, I request that you provide me with written documentation confirming the removal of these inquiries from my credit report within 30 days of receiving this letter. 

Failure to comply with my request within the stipulated time frame will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal action to ensure my rights under the FCRA are upheld. I trust that you will handle this matter with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.

Complaint narrative:
My husband over paid our credit card with XXXX XXXX  XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX. We requested a refund in XXXX XXXX they mailed out a check but it was intercepted and cashed by someone other than us. We requested help, and a new check to be issued and promised on 3 occasions that this would happen but 2 of the 3 times it was cancelled becasue they said after investigating they found a check was sent and cashed, which we finally found out with help of one of the bank associates. It was washed and re-written to a different bank. I have a copy of the check now. In the mean time of ALL this going on, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX has reported me to Equifax and now my credit score has dropped and another credit card holder had lowered my credit limit with the explanation of " we are being proactive '' due to a negative report on your credit report. I have made over XXXX calls along with multiple visit to the brick and mortar establishment and I am currently waiting for a XXXX check that should be here by XX/XX/XXXX. Mind you only the XXXX was ever really sent, the XXXX and XXXX were stopped/cancelled. I still have to deal with late charges and finance charges when and if the check really arrives, and repairing my credit to be back in the XXXX 's again.

Complaint narrative:
I move out of an apartment that I leased for one year. Never missed a payment and never late with a payment. Upon leaving I had the apartment thoroughly cleaned. Two to three week after leaving I received a call that the tile flooring had been damaged by me and there was some ridiculous charge for it. I told them that the scoffing on the floor was there when I moved in. The recliner and coffee table I had in that room both had fabric padding under each leg. The manager person that was there when I left was not the same manager there when I moved in. Also I still have not received my deposit that was made when I moved in.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the ongoing presence of late, closed, and charged-off accounts on my credit report, despite making repeated attempts to have them removed. This letter serves as a formal complaint regarding the handling of my credit file. 

Despite providing evidence of inaccuracies and engaging in due process according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), I have not seen any meaningful resolution to this issue. 

The inclusion of these erroneous accounts has hindered my ability to secure favorable credit terms, obtain loans, and pursue other financial endeavors. Furthermore, it has caused undue stress and frustration as I continue to navigate through this ordeal without any tangible progress. 

I demand immediate action to rectify this situation. Specifically, I request that the aforementioned late, closed, and charged-off accounts be thoroughly investigated and promptly removed from my credit report. Additionally, I expect a formal explanation for the repeated failure to address my concerns in a timely and satisfactory manner. With this, I am asking for your assistance to remove these accounts in my credit file : DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} ; DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} ; DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} ; DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} ; DEPTEDXXXX XXXXXXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} ; XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$200.00} XXXX
