Actually it didn't take very long. I got the notification from FICO monitoring but it didn't indicate which merchant submitted the inquiry. So, I called Discover (they have great, domestic service that answers quickly) and after a brief hold with a CSR I was told they cannot determine if an online request generated an inquiry or not. Hmm. Anyway, I figured I might hear the same from the others regardless of whether I called in, so I did the convenient think and ordered via my phone a TU credit report from FICO for $15 (with my discount) and received it instantly on my phone. Saw that it was Bloomingdale's, called the # on the back of the card, selected the # for a CLI, got a CSR, told my story, and after a brief hold another CSR comes on the line, apologizes, and says they'll submit the retraction from all CRAs.. Took maybe 12-15 minutes all told.
