Complaint narrative:
Finding unauthorized accounts, credit inquiries, and false personal information made or reported without my knowledge or agreement completely stunned and grieved me. I've tried to get clarification from the creditors, but they have blatantly refused to give it to me. I demand that the creditors act immediately and be transparent. The creditors must submit pertinent application materials, show proof of express authority for each query, and give comprehensive details about each account and inquiry, including dates, purposes, and the kinds of credit products involved. To see what I'm complaining about, please refer to the attached file!

Company: EQUIFAX, INC.
State: NY

Complaint narrative:
I am filing this complaint due to multiple unauthorized hard inquiries that have been made on my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or permissible purpose, as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ). 

Under FCRA Section 604 ( 15 U.S.C. 1681b ), a hard inquiry may only be made if there is a legitimate permissible purpose, such as a credit application that I explicitly authorized. I have not applied for credit or authorized any of the following companies to access my credit report : These inquiries were not initiated or approved by me in any capacity. I have contacted the credit reporting agency ( [ Experian/Equifax/TransUnion ] ) to dispute these inquiries and demand their removal. However, no satisfactory resolution has been provided. 

The continued reporting of these inquiries without proof of authorization is a violation of my rights as a consumer under the FCRA and potentially opens these companies and the credit bureaus to civil liability. Hard inquiries can lower my credit score and affect my ability to obtain credit therefore, this is not a trivial issue.

Under FCRA Section 1681i ( a ) ( 1 ), I am entitled to dispute information that I believe to be inaccurate, and the credit reporting agency is required to investigate the disputed information within 30 days. I have reason to believe that the following accounts do not belong to me, contain incorrect data, or should no longer be listed due to age or resolution : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - Balance : {$280.00} - Account # : As required under the FCRA, I request that these accounts be thoroughly investigated and either updated or removed from my credit report if found to be inaccurate.

Under FCRA Section 1681b ( c ), credit inquiries must be made with my permission or under circumstances where I have applied for credit. If these inquiries were not authorized by me or do not meet the requirements for a legitimate credit inquiry, they should be removed from my report : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Please consider this my formal request for an investigation under the FCRA. If the items mentioned above are not removed or corrected, I will seek further action, including filing complaints with the CFPB and taking legal steps to enforce my rights under the law.
