Multiple credit inquiries for one credit card

Anonymous · ‎02-05-2017

So, I had applied for a bank of america card which was denied due to a fraud alert on the CRA. I called and got the alert removed and called BofA back to have them try again, they said it was still impossible due to the fraud alert(which was removed) but it made another inquiriy. I called CRA to be sure they did in fact remove the fraud alert which they did, so I called BofA again to let them know it was indeed removed. They ran it a third time and It went through and I was approved. Given the circumstances is there anyway to remove two of the 3 credit inquiries? If so, what woud be my best route of doing so?

I would presume that the CRA would not list an inquiry that was not filled in a consumer credit report.

I would contact a supervisor at the CRA and request their policy as to recording an inquiry that is not completed in a credit report.

You could also contact the creditor and request that they recode the unfilled inquiries as soft.

I will be trying both. maybe my best shot is getting the creditor who is aware of the situation at the least to recode them as soft inquiries?

I was hoping to begin with a phone call to the OC. I have not had the time to do so during business hours yet. Hopefully I can get to it on monday and report back with positive results.
