Unknown inquiry

Anonymous — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 12:51:07 GMT

I found this inquiry on my EQ CR... from 6/3/08.

AT&T SRVS

I'm not sure what this is... never had any kind of dealings with AT&T phone or credit card. Does anyone know a number I could call and find out what's going on and get this removed?

just dispute it with whichever CRA it's showing up on. I had the same problem with ECHOSTAR a few months back.

Did you recently purchase a phone from AT&T wireless ?

Nope, never had ATT service. What's the best route to disputing it? It's on my Equifax (which in TX is owned by CSC). As far as I know CSC doesn't allow you to dispute inquiries.

It sounds like someone tried to open a phone in your name. I would get on the horn with ATT and let them know. You might need to put a FA on your file if they did.

Call At&T (number on website) ask them about the inquiry explain the situation and make sure that there is not a new acct under your name if there is make sure it is canceled and demand....(firmly not rudly...u know what I mean) that the inquiry be removed! Request that they contact the CRA and that they send you a letter stating the inquiry was not authorized so you can send it to the CRA urself when u file a dispute......(and for ur own records)!
