<prompt> Human: My credit was frozen across Equifax, Trans Union, and Experian due to the Equifax fiasco.I recently signed the papers at a Honda dealership to get a certified pre-owned car with financing through the dealer Honda Financial Services. May 2nd: When I filled out the credit application with my co-signer, my dad, the finance manager came back to tell me there was a freeze on my credit-I forgot to lift that freeze. No worries, well come back in a couple days and in the meantime, Ill lift my credit freezes. Honda seems to only use Equifax but just in case, I temporarily lifted the freeze at all three bureaus May 3rd: I used the websites for all three credit bureaus to temporarily lift my freezes from May 3rd through May 30th. May 4th: My dad and I visit the dealership again to sign the papers and get the car. The finance manager tells me my credit score and its within range for an ok interest rate. I get the car, great. May 9th: I drive from the Midwest down south about 1000 miles 11 hours away to move to my new job.May 10th: One of the salesmen at the dealer has kindly agreed to mail me the car title not yet in my name on the paper down to my new address since it would be mailed to my parents address in the Midwest otherwise--wouldnt do any good for me. The title arrives.May 15th: I get notified that a lovely piece of mail has come from Honda financial services to my parents address stating that my credit loan has been denied. The reason: Credit Freeze.So how did they know my credit score when we signed the papers and what should I do now for those of you who have dealt with this kind of headache before?Im calling the dealer and Honda financial services tomorrow to see whats up and what I can do. I dont want to get suckered in to signing a new contract with the dealer because they think I want to keep the car at all costs but it doesnt sound like that kind of bait and switch game. My credit freeze was definitely lifted so what gives?Edit: thank you to everyone who answered! This puts me at ease. Ill give them a call today to double check.  <response>: Maybe the mail was the original loan app denial? May 2nd, you signed the application and the manager ran your credit. He came back and said it was denied because of the freeze. Your denial letter was probably from that meeting.
