Complaint narrative:
I am writing to formally dispute unauthorized inquiries on my Equifax credit report, which have recently come to my attention. These inquiries were conducted without my consent or authorization, and as such, I request their immediate removal from my Equifax credit report in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), specifically sections 609 ( a ) ( 2 ) and 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ). 


XXXX. XXXX - XX/XX/year> - I dispute this unauthorized inquiry listed on my credit report. I did not authorize or initiate this inquiry. I demand an immediate investigation into the legitimacy of this unauthorized inquiry. I insist on its prompt removal from my credit report.

XXXX. XXXX - XX/XX/year> - I dispute this unauthorized inquiry listed on my credit report. I did not authorize or initiate this inquiry. I demand an immediate investigation into the legitimacy of this unauthorized inquiry. I insist on its prompt removal from my credit report. 

Under Section 609 ( a ) ( 2 ) of the FCRA, consumers have the right to request the disclosure of their credit report, including the sources of inquiries made within the past two years. Upon reviewing my credit report, I discovered unauthorized inquiries that were not initiated or authorized by me. These inquiries have negatively impacted my credit score and financial standing.

Furthermore, under Section 611 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) of the FCRA, consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports and request its correction or removal. The unauthorized inquiries on my credit report are inaccurate and misleading, as they do not reflect any legitimate credit transactions or applications initiated by me.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account status incorrect
Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
In light of recent developments, it has been brought to my attention that the creditor failed to furnish the required 21-day notice along with a statement, which would have allowed sufficient time for payment processing and thus, prevented any late payments from occurring on these accounts. This oversight has led to a misrepresentation of the payment status, suggesting a billing error on the part of the creditor. 

In response to this discrepancy, I kindly request tangible evidence from the creditor 's bank account, demonstrating any instances of non-payment that purportedly resulted in the reported late status. This evidence is essential for clarifying the circumstances surrounding the alleged late payments and verifying the accuracy of the reported information. 

PERSONAL INFORMATION : The information reflected in my credit reports is currently marred by inaccuracies that have had a detrimental impact on my ability to secure new credit. As I submit credit applications to potential lenders, the discrepancies present in the reported data have led to confusion and contradictions, ultimately misrepresenting my creditworthiness. 

Given the gravity of these inaccuracies and their adverse effects on my financial reputation, I am formally requesting the correction of these errors and the subsequent removal of the incorrect items from my credit reports. It is imperative that my credit file accurately reflects my financial standing and history to ensure fair and informed assessments by creditors.
