Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

You went to one dealership and woke up with 20 hard inquiries

You told them not to shop your application around. They did it anyway. Now you're watching your score tank for something you never actually agreed to.

There's an inquiry on your report you don't even recognize

You didn't apply for anything. But there it is — a hard pull from a company you've never heard of. That's not a glitch. That's unauthorized. And it's costing you points every single month it sits there.

The home you've been working toward keeps slipping further away

Surface pain

Your lender said your score isn't quite high enough.

Real pain

The hard inquiries dragging your number down aren't even yours — you never authorized them.

Deep pain

The life you've been building toward — the neighborhood, the front door, the fresh start — feels further away every time you check your report.

You tried disputing them yourself and hit a wall

You sent letters. You filed disputes. The bureau came back and said the inquiry was "verified." What they didn't tell you is that "verified" and "authorized" are two different things — and that distinction is exactly where we win.

You've been paying a credit repair company for months and nothing has moved

Surface pain

Another monthly charge hit your account this week.

Real pain

Six months in, those same inquiries are still sitting on your report.

Deep pain

You trusted someone with your financial future and they've been billing you while your credit stands completely still.

You've been told hard inquiries can't be removed — and that's simply wrong

Unauthorized hard inquiries can absolutely be removed. Federal law gives you that right. Most people just don't know which laws apply, how to use them, or who actually specializes in doing this correctly.

Here is what most people never find out — the hard inquiries that don't belong on your report don't have to stay there for two years. You have federal rights. We know exactly how to use them.

Before you decide

The Questions People Ask Right Before They Call.

The best websites remove friction before the visitor feels it. This section handles the silent objections that usually stop someone from taking action.

Will this hurt my credit?

The goal is to challenge questionable hard inquiries through the bureaus, not add debt, apply for new credit, or create new risk.

How long does it take?

Many bureau responses arrive within 30 to 90 days, but the exact timeline depends on the bureau, inquiry source, and file complexity.

Can I do this myself?

Yes. But most people get stuck when the bureau says an inquiry was verified. We help with the strategy, documentation, and next step.

There Is a Better Way. And It Was Built for Exactly This.

Robert Garcia, founder of Inquiry Removal
FounderRobert GarciaHard inquiry removal specialist since 2015

Robert Garcia founded Inquiry Removal in 2015 after living this problem firsthand. He walked into a dealership, told them not to send his application anywhere, and watched as his perfect credit took a 100-point hit from inquiries he never authorized. As a former senior credit analyst who spent years in the disputes department of a major financial institution, he knew those inquiries didn't belong there — and he knew which federal laws could remove them.

So he built the only company in the country that does one thing and one thing only: removes hard inquiries. Not collections. Not late payments. Not charge-offs. Just inquiries. That singular focus means our team knows the FCRA, FDCPA, FACTA, and Metro 2 compliance standards at a depth that generalist credit repair companies simply don't have — because for them, inquiries are one line item on a long checklist. For us, they are the entire job.

The big credit repair companies — Lexington Law, Credit Saint, The Credit People — were built on monthly subscriptions. The longer you stay stuck, the more they earn. They need you in the problem. We operate on a single flat fee because we need you out of it. We fight alongside you against the dealerships that ignored your instructions, the identity thieves who opened lines of credit in your name, and the bureaus that keep verifying inquiries that were never authorized. When you win, we're done. That's how it should work.

The people who come to us aren't financially irresponsible. They're people who went car shopping and got ambushed. They're people whose information was stolen. They're people who applied online and had no idea their report would be sent to thirty different lenders. They deserve better than a monthly subscription that turns their problem into someone else's profit.

Three-bureau inquiry removal — all at once

We dispute directly and simultaneously with Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion — targeting every unauthorized, excessive, or fraudulent hard inquiry across all three reports. Not just one bureau. Not just the obvious ones. Every inquiry that doesn't belong there.

Custom Dispute Letters — Never Templates

FCRA. FDCPA. FACTA. Metro 2. We know exactly which law applies to which inquiry type and how to use it. This is all we do — and we've been doing it since 2015.

A Dedicated Specialist — Not a Call Center

You work with one person who knows your file. You can reach us. We answer. That's not a marketing line — it's our policy.

100% money-back guarantee

If no inquiries are removed within 90 days, you receive a full refund. No runaround. No fine print built to trap you.

Post-Deletion Credit Protection Strategy

After your inquiries are removed, we give you a personalized plan for protecting your score going forward — so what we fought for stays in place.

Free consultation. Zero obligation.

We review your report first. You see exactly what can be removed before you spend a dollar.

Who this is for

  • You recently visited a car dealership and discovered multiple hard inquiries you never agreed to
  • You've found unauthorized or unrecognized inquiries on your report and suspect identity theft
  • You're trying to qualify for a mortgage, auto loan, or credit and your inquiry count is the barrier

Who this is not for

  • Anyone looking to remove collections, late payments, charge-offs, or other negative items — that's not our specialty and we won't pretend it is
  • Anyone looking for a monthly subscription with no defined end date and no flat-fee commitment

Our Promise to You — In Plain Language

If we do not remove any hard inquiries from your credit report within 90 days of beginning service, you receive a full refund — no runaround, no finger-pointing, no fine print designed to keep your money.

We verify results before processing any refund, because that is the honest way to handle it. In nearly 11 years and over 1,123 clients, we have used a review-first qualification standard so clients understand the likely path before moving forward. We tell you about the guarantee because you deserve to know it exists before you trust us with anything.

Individual results vary based on each client's specific credit report, inquiry type, and bureau response. Most clients see removals within 30 to 90 days.

Questions We Hear Every Single Day

Will this actually work for my situation?

Yes — if you have unauthorized, excessive, or fraudulent hard inquiries on your credit report, we can dispute them using federal law. We offer a completely free consultation specifically so you can see exactly what's removable and what your score improvement could look like before you spend anything. No two credit reports are identical, which is why we look at yours first.

Can you really remove hard inquiries — or just dispute them?

We have permanently removed over 100,437 hard inquiries across Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion since 2015. We do this using the FCRA, FDCPA, FACTA, and Metro 2 compliance laws — not generic templates, not guesswork. Our review-first qualification standard exists because we know which law applies to which type of inquiry and why. Disputing and removing are the same outcome when you know what you're doing.

How soon will I see results?

Some clients see their first removals in as few as 14 days. Most see full results within 30 to 90 days. We are transparent about timelines from the very first conversation — we work as fast as the law allows because we know your goals are on a real schedule.

What if I've already tried another company and got nothing?

We hear this regularly, and the answer is almost always the same: the company you worked with was a generalist. They treated inquiry removal as one item on a long checklist, using the same strategy they'd use for a collection or a late payment. Inquiry removal requires a completely different approach — specific federal laws applied to specific inquiry types, sent to specific bureaus in a specific way. That specialization is the only thing we do. It's why we succeed where others stall.
