Credit Inquiries
Date: Wed, 01/17/2007 - 12:33
I sent a letter for removal of a credit inquiry. No repsonse. This entry was for a debt way past 7 yr period and out of SOL. How can they post an inquiry when past the 7 years, I want removed. It is my last remaining obstacle after clearing up my CR the last two year. Also the CRA says my name was misspelled by one of the companies, and i must contact them to correct my name to the legal spelling, that the CRA can not remove? Is that so?

Credit inquiries are usually disputed with the information providers. But if you dispute the unauthorized inquiry with the CRA, they will have to verify with the company and remove it. Below is a sample letter you can send to the bureau
