Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports — Credit reporting
Issue: Improper use of your report — Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Company: CORELOGIC INC
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
This is my SECOND time contacting you about incorrect inquiries showing up on my credit report. I previously sent you a request to investigate those inquiries, and your conclusion was to contact the creditor directly. As I stated in my previous letter to XXXX, I have already contacted every creditor directly and they have no proof of permissible purpose or even a record of me on file. 

I have heard of this happening before, where a company pulls someone's credit WITHOUT permissible purpose - and as you know, it is a violation of Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S. Code 1681b, Subsection ( a ) for you to furnish my report to any entity that does not have permissible purpose. I am still waiting to see ANY evidence of verification or proof of that purpose with these inquiries ( from XXXX OR the creditors ). So here they are again, these inquiries should NOT be on my credit report. I request that you REMOVE these inquiries IMMEDIATELY or provide me proof of permissible purpose. No idea who these companies even are : *SEE ATTACHED DOC* Once again, let me be clear that I have already contacted every company listed and most do not even have a record of me at all. I'm being very cordial and requesting that you abide by the Fair Credit Reporting Act and perform a COMPLETE investigation in regards to the above listed inquiries. 

Please provide me with the outcome of your thorough investigation within 30 days of receipt of this letter. I am sending this letter certified mail, with return receipt requested so that I will have documented proof and confirmation of delivery of this letter.

Company: Zenith Financial Network Inc
State: KS

Complaint narrative:
I received a call from my mother that a debt collector had called her looking for me. She game me the name. I looked it up, found them, and messaged them, as it was the only contact I could find on the website. I told them I didn't owe the debt, it was very old, and under no circumstances were they to contact any of my family members again. The company responded with a generic message about how they want to help me resolve my debt, without responding to my concerns. I then received another call from my mother, they had called her a second time, and this time, told her what the debt was from. This is a clear violation of my privacy as well as my rights under the credit protection act. I messaged again that I wanted them to stop contacting me by phone in addition to stop contacting my family. Then I received a text message from them stating " How can I help you resolve this today so you no longer receive calls about this? - XXXX XXXX XXXX. Clearing admitting that they had no intention of respecting my wishes of not being contacted by phone. This is harassment and it is unacceptable! 

I also never received anything in writing from this company regarding this debt, the website however says I can not dispute it with them.
