Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX XXXXXXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX  XXXX last 4 of my SSN : XXXX My Birthday : XX/XX/XXXX The above noted personal identifiers are the only requisite reported ones that I authorize, please eradicate any allegations of any others that you might have and block any others from being reported, or demonstrate to me your regulatory right to retain as mandated by FCRA laws. I DO NOT AUTHORIZE you to retain ANY not MANDATED allegations versus me. ANY INFORMATION you retain or report MUST be mandated, true, correct, complete, timely, proven mine, of my responsibility and otherwise compliant to any and every reporting regulation in my state or federal laws. 

RE : Unauthorized and or possibly Fraudulent, certainly unproven to be compliant with mandated proof of permissible purpose allegation of Credit Inquiry ( XXXX ) by Original Creditors on my XXXX Credit Report. 

Dear XXXX, I recently reviewed my credit report and found unauthorized inquiries. 


I contacted the below creditors and they have NO proof I initiated such inquiries, nor written authorization and have failed to provide any permissible purpose. Since they do not have my authorization, written nor verbal I ask that you DELETE these authorized inquiries from my credit report immediately as there is no evidence of any authorization, nor any permissible purpose. 
According to Section 604 of the Fair Credit Reporting Act Permissible Purposes of Consumer Reports 15 U.S. Code 1681b In general. Subject to subsection ( e ), any consumer reporting agency may furnish a consumer report under the following circumstances and no other : ( F ) otherwise has a legitimate business need for the information ( i ) in connection with a business transaction that is initiated by the consumer. 
Under 15 U.S. Code & 1681i, Paragraph ( 5 ) Treatment of Inaccurate or Unverifiable Information ( A ) In general. If, after any reinvestigation under paragraph ( 1 ) of any information disputed by a consumer, an item of the information is found to be inaccurate or incomplete or can not be verified, the consumer reporting agency shall- ( i ) promptly delete XXXX XXXX XXXX  XXXX Inquiry date XX/XX/XXXX, and I noticed Unauthorized inquiries on my Report. 
I compel you to demonstrate the mandated physically verifiable proof of adequately achieved permissible purpose from the exactly lawfully identified me and or any entity legally able to render such authority or else annul via full deletion of the entire unproven derogatory allegation ( s ) of inquiry claim made versus me deficient of federal reporting compliance unjustly or proof thereof. 

To date, there is no testimonial certificate of facts that irrefutably display that I did indeed knowingly and agreeably authorize anyone employed by this company to make any inquiry and view my XXXX credit report on this ( these ) specific dates alleged if any dates ever at all. It is my contention that either the Original Creditor ( s ) have ( has ) violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act Section 1681b ( c )., or can not or will not demonstrate evidence of doing so compliantly to reporting standards as requisite by consumer reporting regulatory laws and practices. Might it be that in reality that they were not legally entitled to make these potentially fraudulent inquiries? Obviously, you can see as I do and also as would any deciding court should I seek suit versus you that this is a serious breach of my privacy much less my consumer and potentially my civil rights. Make addend corrections now to relieve yourself of the foul position of non-compliance to reporting obligations so to retain or return to the appropriate status of certified XXXX XXXX compliant reporting more than 100 % provable true, correct, complete, and timely reporting. 

Let there be no mistake, I am requesting that the entities currently unproven to be compliant to immediately mail me a copy of my signed authorization form that gave them the right to view my credit within five ( 5 ) business days so that I can verify its validity. If need be I will require that you advised them that if they can not provide me with proof that I authorized them to view my credit report then I am within my consumer and civil rights in my demanding that they contact the credit bureaus, including you equifaxs, immediately so to adequately make rectifiable removal of every one even each any and or all of the deficient of compliant unauthorized and or fraudulent hard inquiries which clearly lack demonstrated permissible purpose as required. 

To that end, further, I am also requesting that they remove any and all of my personal information from their records. 

The last XXXX of my SSN XXXX and My Birthday XX/XX/XXXX in case it is needed to locate the potentially injurious and fraudulent inquiry in their system. 

I am asking that you require them to please send me written confirmation that they have complied with my requests and further for you to advised them that their failure to comply with my requests within XXXX ( XXXX ) business days will be my undoubted evidence used in Federal Court of their willful noncompliance [ 15 U.S.C. 1681n ] and that I will be seeking statutory damages, punitive damages and the cost of the action and reasonable attorney fees for each and every fraudulent inquiry. 

I insist that you do whatever is in your power to ensure that The ( these ) alleged Original Creditor ( s ) comply ( ies ) with my requests and to avoid other Consumers from experiencing the same kind of abuse of their privacy rights. 

I demand with this declaration of complaint that you please validate this information with these Original Creditors and provide me with copies of any documentation associated with these accounts bearing my signature. In the absence of any such documentation bearing my signature, I formally request that all accusations of inquiries be immediately deleted from the credit file you maintain under my Social Security number. Additionally, any derogatory accounts associated with said unproven or not compliantly reporting or fraudulent inquiries should be immediately extracted from my consumer credit reports, particularly if not fully certificated physically to be 100 % true, accurate, complete, timely, mine, my responsibility, or compliant to XXXX XXXX data field formatted reporting standards as is mandated by obligations of my state and the federal reporting laws related to the matter, namely the FCRA and FDCPA. 

Please note that you have a maximum of XXXX  days to complete this investigation, as per the Fair Credit Reporting Act section 623 ( a ) ( 3 ), and you can bet your bottom dollar that I am keeping careful record of your actions and or mishaps, whether willful or in ignorance. 

I am certain that you know already but please allow me to remind you that your failure ( s ) to respond satisfactorily within XXXX days of receipt of this certified letter will result in a small claims action against your company. I will be seeking {$5000.00} ( or the maximum allowable sueable monetary award I can seek ) in damages for one or more of the following : 1. ) Defamation 2. ) Negligent Enablement of Identity Fraud 3. ) Violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act 4. ) Unlawful reporting of unproven derogatory information deficient of compliance proof upon a consumer compliance check, dispute, complaint or challenge of compliance! 

You will be required to appear in a court venue local to me and very likely to my favor as an obvious victim of your willful disregard of the consumer reporting regulations thereby inflicting unjustified injury to my consumer credibility and reputation, in order to formally defend yourself. My mandated reportable personal identifiers aka contact information is as follows : My first and last name is : XXXX XXXX The last XXXX of my XXXX XXXX Birthday XX/XX/XXXX My StreeXXXX, City, XXXX & Zip is : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I look forward to your willful return to lawful true, correct, complete, timely, and compliant reporting with notice of your immediate deletion of each of the aforementioned and again following detailed claims of unproven allegations that lack proof of permissible purpose, please eradicate these unlawful claims today, right now even. 

Thank you for your help and assistance. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX P.S. Please be aware that dependent upon your response, I will be detailing any potential issues with your company via an online public press release, including documentation of any potential small claims action.
