Equifax reported back to me that the inquiries were verified. I have XXXX inquiries from XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX ) in which I did not give permission neither time. The XXXX time in XXXX, they " assured '' me that it was only an internal check to see if I would pay a deposit and that It would not even hit my credit report ( not even as a soft pull. ) Well, it did and the XXXX in XXXX is totally bogus, I did not give them permission to pull at all ; did n't even have a discussion with them about my credit since XXXX when I signed up for service. I have checked some forums to find that this is an epidemic with comcast which is why I am a part of the class action suit that is now against them for this very reason. XXXX XXXX, which has pulled my report under the name XXXX, also told me ( in their XXXX XXXX location in XXXX, TX ) that the pull would be " internal '' and would not hit my credit report because, as stated by the rep, they provide in house financing and would only be checking to see how much i would qualify for and that it was not an application for credit.
