Subject: Urgent Dispute – Unauthorized Hard Inquiry on My Credit Report

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to formally dispute an unauthorized hard inquiry that has been placed on my credit report without my knowledge, consent, or permissible purpose under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) 15 U.S.C. § 1681b.

Under the FCRA, a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a credit report for permissible purposes, including credit applications initiated by the consumer, employment screenings with written consent, or specific legal obligations. I did not authorize the inquiry in question, and as such, it constitutes an illegal access of my credit file and an infringement on my rights as a consumer.

Details of the Unauthorized Hard Inquiry:

Required Actions from You:

  1. Immediately remove the unauthorized hard inquiry from my credit report
  2. Provide me with a written confirmation that the inquiry has been deleted.
  3. Send me an updated copy of my credit report reflecting the correction.

Legal Consequences of Non-Compliance:

Failure to take immediate corrective action within 30 days, as required under FCRA 15 U.S.C. § 1681i, will result in the following: :

  • Filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and my State Attorney General’s Office.
  • Legal action against your agency under FCRA 15 U.S.C. § 1681n & § 1681o, which provide for statutory damages, punitive damages, and attorney fees.
  • Possible escalation to federal authorities for unauthorized access to my credit report.

This letter serves as formal legal notice. If this dispute is not resolved within the legally mandated timeframe, I will take the necessary legal steps to protect my rights.

Sincerely,

Edit Your Letter
