<prompt> Human: Im 18 years old and currently have no credit at all. About a week or two ago I was at Best Buy buying a new computer and during the purchase the guy asked me if I wanted to sign up for the Best Buy credit card. I told him I didnt have credit so I dont think Id be approved and didnt want the hard inquiry if I wasnt going to be approved. He told me they actually used a soft inquiry and it wouldnt show up on my credit score, so if I wanted to build my credit I might as well. It wouldve gotten me some money off my purchase and since it was a soft inquiry I thought I might as well. I didnt get approved and shrugged it off.Today I checked Credit Karma and there it is on my Equifax report though not TransUnion. This is my fifth hard inquiry on Equifax and that shows up in the bad category on Credit Karma. I was going to try and keep it below five so Im kind of pissed. Is there any way I can easily get this removed earlier than two years from now, considering the circumstances?  <response>: No. But you could write an angry letter to the manager about the employee lying.Any time youre applying for credit, assume its a hard inquiry, because its supposed to be.
