Easy time? What number did you call? I was calling in to get two "half-legit" pulls removed (from app and then one from recon) and had difficulty. Need supervisor who made it like a one-time exception and said there's no such thing as combining pulls..
You didn't have 2 half-legit pulls. You had two legitimate pulls.
Again, your approach was completely flawed. You shouldn't be using words like "dispute" and "combine" in conversations with EX related to INQ's. From what you've typed here, I'd bet you told the supervisor that one pull was from an app, and other from a recon, so you got lucky that the supervisor did you a solid.
