<prompt> Human: I work for an agricultural dealership. I detail equipment. I started this job a few years ago, and they gave me an in house charge account. It was nice for small things like hats and gloves for the family and friends, as I never charged more than 50 a month, if at all. This balance was deducted from my check, so it was never a problem or consideration. Today the CEO of the company called us together and handed out applications to all employees, mandating we just need to put our SSNs and signatures on it, theyll take care of the rest. I know my credit is low, and that inquiries dont work in my favor. I also feel that this is a violation of at least ethics. The only people I work with that could benefit from this are the ones who operate and mange farms. Unfortunately, I did sign and submit paperwork, but its leaving a bad taste in my mouth. Please advise. Thank you. Edit: changed spelling, Im on mobile and fat fingered.Edit IIThank you to everyone for the info.I have written to the person who will be processing the paperwork, and asked her to remove and destroy my application. To clarify, it is not a credit card, it is not a company credit card. It is a finance program through our parent company. It is more for the farmer fellow to come in and get parts or pay for service, and instead of the company extending credit to customers and employees, the parent corporation has a finance department to take care of the accounts. If I were actually to receive the account, I would be billed from the finance department. Yes, I should not have signed and literally submitted, thats on me. I will most certainly be more wary of this kind of thing in the future.Edit 3I just spoke with the nice lady who manages the accounts receivable, and she advised it was a very soft pull for a credit check, for a 500 limit. Im hoping that I do get accepted so that I can start to build credit. I could use an extra extension cord or adjustable pliers. Thank you again for sharing your time and thoughts. I just wish the geriatric ceo would have got me after this mornings coffee, in hopes I wouldnt have been so foggy.Cheers, personalfinance  <response>: just need to put our SSNs and signatures on it, theyll take care of the restThis should have been a major red flag to you. Never sign anything if you cant at least understand the purpose of it.
