Just checked my inquiries with my Equifax Score Power... and... ran... across... a hard inquiry from ESCORING DBA PRIVISTA. Terrific. No way to get rid of that!
Bkev, Others have found this as well. Contact Privista and demand they change this to a soft inquiry. As GEORGE says, no hard inquiries when you request your own credit! EVER! Maybe someone who had the status changed has a contact name or # to help you correct this. Good Luck. -Peace, Dave
