I was emailed a marketing message from Citibank stating that I may be eligible for a credit limit increase and that " a credit bureau inquiry is not required ''. I followed the steps and applied for a credit limit increase but Citibank still pulled my credit report and created an inquiry on all XXXX bureaus anyway. I have since contacted Citibank to try to rectify the issue but they have told me that they will not remove the inquiry because " their message must have told me that they would be pulling my credit '' even though I have proof that it says the opposite. I believe this clearly represents a XXXX violation as they deceived me by stating that my credit would not be affected and it subsequently was.
