The Hard Inquiry Removal Letter is a crucial document used in the Irish financial services sector when an individual identifies unauthorized or incorrect hard inquiries on their credit report. These inquiries, which can impact credit scores, must be disputed through formal channels as established by Irish credit reporting legislation and EU data protection laws. The letter serves as a formal request to credit bureaus or financial institutions, invoking rights under the Data Protection Act 2018 and GDPR. It typically includes personal identification details, specific information about the disputed inquiry, and relevant legal bases for the removal request. This document is particularly important in Ireland's credit reporting system, where accurate credit information is essential for financial services and consumer protection.
