Proper process of removing a "hard pull"
« on: February 21, 2013, 07:07:08 PM »
I recently got denied for a few credit cards, upon reviewing my credit there where inaccuracies. I had those corrected. however the credit card companies have stated that they can only reconsider a denial within 90 days. I am now stuck with a few hard pulls on my report. Technically I authorized the pull, and the banks according to the report at the time denied me for good reason, do I have a legal argument that they remove the inquiry?

i cant think you have a legal argument, i would just try to argue that they were giving false info and there fore you had unnecessary pulls

How about trying to get those denials reversed?

The argument might be, that they can only leave it on the report,  if they reconsider the application, now that they have received the correct report. i only allowed a credit pull with the notion that they would "seriously" consider me for a card and approve me if I have good credit. I do have good credit and I can prove that. However they never Stipulated During the application process that I only have 90 days to prove that the info was incorrect. Hence they lured me into a hard pull without letting me know that I would not get the card if I fail to prove the information was incorrect. If I am not mistaken that according to the fair credit act 1) I can contend the denial, and they by law must reconsider   2) if report was inaccurate, upon request the agencies must resend the modified report to anyone who has seen it in the last year, again leading to the idea that 90 days is a bank set time, that they failed to disclose

if you don't want the cards anymore, either call them the price of finding out your credit was damaged and you got it fixed or bump them off (depends on report).

if you decide you do want the cards, those pulls will hardly be cause for denial.

Why will this not work for experian? From the article it seems that if you were to find a way to pull your score 90 times in one month then it should bump it all off? Or does their system not work that way?
It's what is on the outside that matters

EX stores soft pulls in a separate column, so it doesn't bump off hard pulls.

Wells fargo hard pull for opening a bank account
« Reply #17 on: April 13, 2013, 11:47:24 PM »
I switched accounts at wells fargo (closed one and opened another at same time) and they pulled my credit, hard pull. I argued with the lady who did it but she said all banks do it, won;t hurt credit etc etc. Is there any way to get it removed since i wasnt told about it?
