Macys reinstated my account and pulled a hard inquiry when they said they would not. Called them back and they said, we will delete. Today I get this letter: MACY*S 8/7/2002 Kbanger Banger st. USA Dear KBanger: In regard to your recent inquiry, we are happy to inform you we have requested Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union remove the inquiry on your credit profile, dated 7/12/2002, made by our firm. If you have any further questions, please feel fre to contact our office at: 800.243.6552 Sincerly, New Accounts Department So my question is how long do I give the 3 buddies to get this thing off? BOARD Holla at your boy!
I would give it 7-10 business days to be safe. This doesn't mean it won't happen sooner or later but that's just my guideline.
