Complaint #1760952 submitted on 01/27/2016 relating to Experian. Complaint relates to Credit reporting - Incorrect information on credit report Account status.

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Wednesday 27th January 2016.

Narrative (may be redacted).

I recently got my credit report which showed my credit scores. XXXX and Experian 's have gone down XXXX points. I have been trying desperately to reestablish credit since a medical bk and foreclosure as I know how important good credit is. I have over the past 3 yrs purchased a home & opened up credit cards, paying them off immediately. I recently refinanced my home & bought a new car. I shopped around & it is my understanding that I could shop around for 30 days & those inquiries which were for the same thing & done within 30 days of each would only count ONLY as XXXX. Apparently this is not happened according to XXXX. I have several refi inquiries & also auto inquiries which I do not believe has been fed properly to XXXX who is determining my credit score. I need to get this straightened out so that my score can improve. The credit reporting agencies say I can not dispute a Inquiry. They say I must contact the company on the report ; find out who made the inquiry ; contact them and either ask them to remove it if it were in error or if it was not authorized by me. I have done this with several. Please note XXXX had pulled my credit on XXXX & XXXX /out my permission They say they will remove same. Others say they ca n't do it..So I am at a loss at what do do as each XXXX is XXXX points and is adversely affecting my credit Note : 1 ) XXXX pulled for XXXX Mortgage XXXX/XXXX/XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for refi within 30 days 2 ) XXXX pulled for XXXX Mtg XXXX/XXXX/XXXX & XXXX/XXXX/XXXX within 30 days 3 ) XXXX pulled for XXXX XXXX XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX Store XXXX/XXXX/XXXX for auto loan -- XXXX XXXX had pulled it as well on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX all within 30 days ; XXXX Bank which is NOW XXXX Bank had several different inquiries : XXXX Bank had XXXX Credit Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX pull it XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX which seems crazy to have it pulled twice on the same day!!! I just spoke to them They are writing a letter to credit bureaus to have them removed as they did NOT have my authorization to do so after checking their records.
I am frustrated because I ca n't dispute these with credit reporting agencies, many of the companies I call do n't want to remove them ; I ca n't get help from XXXX who is the ones that report the scores ; and I ca n't get help from the reporting agencies who feed the info to XXXX -- YET my credit is getting damaged and there is no one to turn to. Please research this let me know how to best proceed and if in fact some of these can be deleted.
