dchap Posted April 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 Should I wait until the disputed items come off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utman17 Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 How did you go about that? I was thinking of calling them and seeing what I could do, I have only one in the last 6 months, but a lot of them about 14-18 months ago, before I found out it was bad to have them on your credit reports..

morrow Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 I had 8 inquiries from the same company, CREDCO. They are from various auto dealerships who use this company to pull credit.I called EQ and said, "Hey, these arent mine, I have no idea where they came from."They started an investigation and got back to me within a week, and the rest is history....

Anonymous Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 I was able to dispute my inquiries over the phone and online. I disputed experian on the internet and all were deleted. I disputed equifax and transunion on the phone. The key to transunion is you have to be extremely nice to the phone person, and the phone person has to be a nice person in a good mood to put in the dispute. I have gotten a few not so nice ones on the phone and they refused to dispute them. So you just have to keep trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrow Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 How the heck did you dispute inquiries online with EX! Where?I dont see the option to, only for accounts, not inquiries! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenous Wolf Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Unless they have changed their policies recently, Equifax/CSC does investigate inquiries. They have deleted every inquiry I have disputed.EX and TU do not. However, for those who have gotten inquiries removed over the phone, that is the result of "smooth talking".Some folks are gifted with the art of smooth talking. They can get Eskimos to buy ice from them. While other people suck when it comes to jawboning and those are the folks that cannot sell water to people in the desert.Smooth talking can make impossible things happen like getting TU and EX to delete inquiries over the phone. More power to you people although I wouldn't buy a used car or water front property in Florida from you.I consider my smooth talking skills to be at an intermediate level (except when I was back in my single days when it was at an exceptional level). It is truly an art and those individuals are blessed to have such skills. [Edit by Ravenous Wolf on Wednesday, April 23, 2003 @ 10:08 PM] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchap Posted April 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 So I was wondering if I should wait until I get the disputed items to come off my CR. I am in round two with EQ and TU with disputed items so that is why I was wondering wether to wait untill they are clear or if they can be attempted while the items are under investigation?DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
