Unauthorized Credit Inquiry

To: Credit Card Company

Dear ___,

I recently received a copy of my credit report. The credit report showed a credit inquiry by your company that I do not recall authorizing. I understand that you should not be allowed to put an inquiry on my file unless I have authorized it. 

Please have this inquiry removed from my credit file because it is making it very difficult for me to acquire credit.

I have sent this letter certified mail because I need your prompt response to this issue. I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter and would like to receive documentation that you have had the unauthorized inquiry removed.

If you find that I am remiss and you, by some chance, did have my authorization to inquire into my credit report, then please send me proof of this.

Thanking you in advance.

Yours sincerely,
