There is nothing really to help with. They do credit checks with new service. When I signed up the hard pull didn't affect my score at all. Unless you have multiple hard checks in a short period, one hard pull shouldn't change your score that much if at all.

Thanknyou for your answer...thenproblem os that it stays for 2 years! And for a hard inquiry i d rather have it in my record for applying for a new credit card ,loan or mortgage not internet service! And also nobody said that would happen though i asked Rep. No contract no obligations no credit effect! I just feel decieved.

You were told false information. However one hard pull is not going to affect your score that much. When I purchased my autos my dealer knew I was financing through my cu. however they did 5 credit checks through different banks. They only count as one however, and my cu rate was the lowest. But after one year they don’t matter. After two years they are removed.
try to keep them inquires to less than 4

It’s called locking your Bureau reports for companies etc to do a hard pull for credit.
however it must be unlocked before you apply for credit or the company cannot get the credit worthiness information.

You could still dispute it with the credit bureaus. But verizons hard pull is not going to carry much damage weight. It’s when consumers have missed payments, charge offs etc. judgments or liens or collections on the report that does damage.
people who look at it will know you purchased internet and tv services, nothing bad in that.
you could try filing a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission
they have regulatory powers over credit bureaus policy. But they may not take up your issue.

Like i said it’s best to lock your file and let it simply fall off. No sense in worrying over it.
you could threaten the credit bureaus to take other actions (like going on the dispute route over and over to be a pest)
