I have sent many prior requests to your company to reinvestigate several inquiries that I believe to be incorrect on my credit report. Aren't you required to complete these investigations within 30 days of receipt?

I will once again list the inquiries in need of investigation : XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/year> The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ) requires credit bureaus to inform consumers when a creditor or other business entity performs a hard inquiry, or " hard pull, '' on your credit report and I was not informed.
