It will drop off at 2 years..and it is so old now that it is not having a negative impact on your score.
IMO - Really it is not worth the hassle to try to get it removed.
The only real way is to dispute it.. But, like somebody else said, its so old that it doesnt really matter anymore.. I started rebuilidng back in 2011 and i finally have some of the INQ's falling off from when i started apping for sub-prime cards..
OP, ditto to no FICO impact. I wouldn't worry about it on that alone. Did you ever apply for any HSBC-based CC then? I could be wrong but it's possible that some of those inquiries converted to CapOne inquiries after the takeover.

Those inquires would curently reflect with the updated Capital One naming convention with the predecessor company (e.g. Cap1/Best Buy, etc). Then again, some folks tend to apply here or there that as time passes by people do forget.
