Complaint narrative:
Subject : Unauthorized Multiple Credit Inquiries from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX : When I applied for an auto loan at my local dealership for my first car, I was unaware that they would pull my credit multiple times. I explicitly asked if this would count as a single inquiry, and I was told it would, but they failed to disclose how many times they would actually pull my credit. 

Here are the lenders they contacted on XX/XX/year> : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX I only authorized XXXX inquiry. 

When I returned to get another car in XXXX, the same dealership again pulled my credit multiple times without my authorization. These are the inquiries reported on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/year> : XXXX XXXX XXXX FIN XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Out of all these, I only authorized a single credit pull per visit, but my credit was pulled repeatedly. 

Additionally, since these inquiries were all made on the same day during each loan application, they should have been grouped and counted as XXXX inquiry each time, per credit reporting standards. However, some inquiries are labeled as unspecified instead of auto loan, which has caused them to be counted separately and unfairly harmed my XXXX XXXX. 

I am requesting the removal or correction of these unauthorized and misclassified inquiries so my credit report accurately reflects only the authorized credit pulls. 

This issue is causing significant damage to my credit, and I am seeking a prompt resolution. 

Dealerships were XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX
