The Inquiry Removal Letter is a crucial document used when consumers identify unauthorized or incorrect credit inquiries on their credit reports. Under U.S. federal law, particularly the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), consumers have the right to dispute inaccurate information on their credit reports, including unauthorized hard inquiries that may negatively impact their credit scores. This document is typically used when a consumer discovers inquiries they didn't authorize, identifies potential identity theft, or finds errors in their credit report. The letter must include specific personal information, details about the disputed inquiry, and any supporting documentation. It serves as an official request that requires credit reporting agencies to investigate and respond within 30 days (45 days in some cases) as mandated by federal law. The Inquiry Removal Letter is particularly important in cases where consumers are preparing for major financial decisions, such as applying for a mortgage or other significant loans, where their credit score needs to be accurately represented.
