      I have 3 hard inquiries now because I applied for a loan and was denied for unacceptable reason. I was told I would get an email as to why I was denied. the SOLE reason I was denied was "Unable to verify my employer". I got this info instantly. My application didnt ask for specific employer information either. Wouldnt you think if any further info was needed they would contact my employer or take steps to find out or verify? NOPE. I got an instant denial for this reason, i called and the gentleman asked me questions and stated it matched exactly what my bank account reflected and he wasnt sure why i was denied for this reason. Told me to call the numbers on the email. THAT ISNT RIGHT. My employer info is correct. Im requesting that my employer get "verified" by another means if you want to use this reason as the sole reason to deny me and a hit to my credit, You guys didnt even take steps to verify, that is not fair,
