    If a company pulls a promotional inquiry and my report is noted as blocked... is that considered a violation by the company in question as well as the cra?

    I don't know what you mean by blocked but Promotional inquiries are not supposed to hurt your credit score and if you don't want promotional credit card offers you should opt out by calling 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688).

    I did call the opt-out number. My account is noted as blocked from promotional inquiries... yet one showed up the other day...

    PRM inquiries are not supposed to hurt your score. Some question whether that's really the case though.
