thrillsoft Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 I noticed that on my EQ, the only inquiries that I have are from two companies called:FORSTER & GARBUS/PCS 500 Bi County BlvdFarmingdale, NY 117353988RESEARCH GRP OF ORANGE COUNTY 5 Bank StWalden, NY 125861205I've researched these companies and the first is a "Bankruptcy Attorney" and the other I can find no information on whatsoever except that an attorney by the name of Kenneth Johnson has (or had at one time) and office at that address listed. Looking up the name in New York State's corporate database, I do see that Research Group of Orange County is an active corporation, but it doesn't list anything else about it. There is no registered agent listed.These inquiries are about 1 and 1 1/2 years old respectively. I have heard nothing from either of these companies. I have no idea why they would want to pull my credit report. Should I do anything about them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravenous Wolf Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 If they are that old, then it doesn't impact your score much. If they start showing up on a regular basis, then it is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they start showing up on a regular basis, then it is a problem.It wasn't my score so much that I was worried about. It concerns me that while I'm working hard to repair/rebuild my credit, attorneys have been checking up on me. Also, I have applied for several credit cards recently and so have added about 4 additional inquiries and would like to keep the total number down, but that's not my biggest concern at the moment. It is finding out why attorneys would want to be checking up on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recovering Attorney Posted September 29, 2006 Report Share Posted September 29, 2006 Foster & Garbus is a big collection firm. They do a lot of foreclosures and a lot of collections for Citi. So, an account of yours may have been referred to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
