Use this hard inquiry removal script and sample letter to remove hard inquiries from your credit report that are not connected to open accounts. 
 
This is all based on the FCRA permissible purpose rule 15USC 1681b(a)(3)(A) where there has to be an extension of credit as well as an intent to use your credit information. 
 
Call the lender that you have the hard inquiry with and use the script as a step by step guide and instruction to help you navigate through the conversation with the creditor to get the hard inquiries removed.
