Consumer Narrative
When I went to a car dealership and they stated that they were only going to use one bank and I said that was fine because I had my own financing but they could beat it with one company. I find out months later that they sent my credit to a lot of people because I was getting letters saying I was either approved or didn't accept credit. I also see Hard pulls I did not authorize as well. I just want these removed because it has added a lot of Hard inquiries and has hurt my credit score hard.
