I think we should decide on the topics which should be there in the article section for the help of forum members. We can directly post our needs through messages in the forum. I think, we ourselves can write articles and post it in the forum too.

| Probaly some mix up at their office. Were you there also for a car loan? If not I would inquire about it at the car lot and ask why they ran your credit without your consent. You would have to consent to have your credit pulled. If it was their error see what they can do to rectify the situation and also contact the credit bureau and explain this was done in error and tell them what the car company said. |

Hi Jerry
Each time the lender pulls up your credit report, it gets enlisted as a hard inquiry. Each hard inquiry lowers your credit score by as much as 5 points. However these hard inquiries are not valid until they get authorization from you to perform such inquiries as per the FDCP Act. So you can send a letter to the inquirer asking them to remove the hard inquiry listing from the credit report or verify your authorization. This is because if this listing remains in your credit report, it will adversely affect your credit score. In most cases these inquirers simply delete this listing because they cannot verify your authorization.

| Probaly would still take pulling teeth. One thing I have learned that it may be easy for people to do something simple but getting them to do it is usually an issue. |

Hi fireyone
The inquirers can easily remove the listing from your credit report by just making a simple request to the bureaus as goodnatured said. However they will only remove it, if it is unauthorized. Now if they don't remove the unauthorized hard inquiry listing from your credit report you may dispute the listing directly with the bureaus or you may even threaten the CA to complain against them to the State Banking Commission if they do not remove the unauthorized listing.

| There are many reporting entities out there that we as consumers can use to report abuse, we just have to find them and use them appropriately. The state banking commision in Pennsylvania has direct access to the attorney generals office and when those two get together for tea, somebody is going to answer some questions. These two are the ones that shut down the storefront payday loan vendors through out the state of pennsylvania. And they did it in a matter of months, they are all about protecting their consumers. |
