Equifax has XXXX hard inquiries on my credit report, when XXXX has XXXX and XXXX has XXXX. Some of the XXXX inquiries are from companies I never approved of and others are from companies I 've never even heard of. When I reported the inaccuracies, it took them less than a day to tell me that I can contact the creditor because they report anything they 're told. I 'm not sure how they expect me to contact companies I 've never heard of, hand them my personal information and hope they admit their mistakes and fix it. I am a victim of identity theft affected by the XXXX, XXXX and XXXX cyber attacks. At best someone stole my identity, but I do not believe this is the case, I believe equifax is trolling for false negative information as they have in the past and it was proven in court. The fraudulent inquiries are : XXXX inquires from XXXX XXXX XXXX ; this is my bank for my checking account but I never authorized any credit inquiries. XXXX inquiries from XXXX ; I 've never heard of them let alone authorize a check. XXXX inquiries from XXXX bank ; never authorized. XXXX XXXX inquiry ; never authorized. XXXX XXXX inquiry ; never authorized. This totals up to XXXX false inquiries and only XXXX correct ones. These fraudulent activities need to be taken off my report and I should not have to contact individual companies myself. It is equifax 's responsibility to verify the accuracy of the information they report before allowing it to damage my credit and reputation.
