XXXX XXXX, 2014 XXXX XXXX pulled my credit XXXX times without my permission. I have a consumer statement attached to all credit files stating that all creditors have to verify my identity before using my credit report ( inquiring ). All XXXX credit bureaus allowed XXXX to pull my credit numerous times when I consented verbally to only XXXX. I have written letters to XXXX of the creditors with a certified mail receipt. XXXX of those companies want my personal information to verify my information now ; ( although they never bothered to verify my information to pull my credit in the first place ) otherwise they will not do anything to remove inquiries that I did NOT authorize. Because I 've been a victim of identity theft before I specifically told XXXX XXXX to pull my credit only XXXX, XXXX of my credit reports has a total of XXXX inquiries from this day and it is hurting my credit. All XXXX bureaus tell me to put a fraud alert on my file, which is fine ; the only problem is that their not helping to remove hard inquiries that I never allowed. Then I 'm told they will " Fall off '' after XXXX years. Anyone trying to access my credit file should have adhered to my consumer statement and they completely ignored it, all XXXX bureaus allowed them to do whatever they wanted. I would have NEVER bothered with the statement if it was n't going to be adhered to ; whats the point? I need help with this matter and nobody seems to be able to help me ; I never allowed that many companies to pull my credit, I never would because I know better ; yet I 'm suffering the consequences and surely it will affect my ability to purchase a home next year.
