Please note that before making this request, I sent letters to the organizations responsible for these unauthorized inquires asking them to remove their inquiries from my credit reports and to cease their illegal activity. Although I sent these letters return receipt requested and have proof that my letters were received more than 30 days ago, they have failed to respond therefore, I ask for your assistance in resolving this matter.

In accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, I respectfully ask you to investigate my claim and, if after your investigation, you find my claim to be valid and accurate, I ask that you immediately delete the unauthorized inquiries outlined below. Furthermore, I ask that you send a corrected copy of my credit profile to me at the above address.

If your investigation determines the inquiry was authorized, I respectfully request you forward to me a description of the procedure used to determine this within 15 days of the completion of your re-investigation.

Thank you for your consideration and cooperation and if you have any questions concerning this matter I can be reached at (insert daytime phone number including area code).
