Public consulting group HP?

Hex — Thu, 28 Nov 2019 16:03:35 GMT

Looking for some information on this company. My DS had an alert for an HP from Public Consulting Group in Boston. It said installment loan inquiry. He hasn’t applied for any new credit. Pull is dated today and it’s Thanksgiving so business are closed. He did request what he thought would be soft pull CLI’s on Cap1, Amex and Disco yesterday. Anyone with any of these cards ever get an HP from this company? They pulled Experian. Kind of worried about fraud -any information would be greatly appreciated. I’m worried. 🙁Thanks in advance.

Very strange. Here's their web site, they don't seem to offer any credit products at all: https://www.publicconsultinggroup.com/

And no, requesting a CLI from Cap1, Amex and Disco shouldn't result in a HP.

Your "DS" (what is that?) might consider freezing his credit reports.

Yes I looked them up they didn’t seem like they offer any credit products. Info listed was address 148 State St. Boston and business type: Resellers/Miscellaneous. Very odd.

Unsure as to why a Consulting Company would even be doing a HP, should probably contact them to find out why. Most places just seeking information only do SP's, because consent is needed for a HP.

I called the company and then they give me another number then I called the number no one answered, I’m guessing is mass health

The second number was Mass Gov

Could be "dear son."

Surprising several people are getting these. I'd definitely contact them to see why and dispute if not resolved.

Yes - I meant dear son (I thought that that was a standard abbreviation- sorry). My son doesn’t have MassHealth but he did recently have insurance though the Massachusetts Health Connector which is MA’s Affordable Care Act subsidized health insurance plan network. I don’t have any details on this yet (the inquiry) because my son isn’t credit obsessed like I am and hasn’t gotten around to calling them yet. He normally just lets me do this kind of stuff for him but I can’t this time because if I call they’ll know I’m not a man.
I will update when he finds the time to call them and let’s me know.

He can give verbal authorization on the same call, or he could give written authorization, but then you gotta jump thru hoops everytime until its reviewed and approved.

Update. My Son never did call them but the HP was gone on his latest 3B report.
