<prompt> Human: In May I was car shopping and I explicitly stated to every dealership that I went to. I do not want to do a hard credit pull until after I finish shop around for the best deal. Today I decided to do my usual 6 month credit report and one of the dealerships did a hard credit pull without my authorization. I explicitly stated that I didnt want one. Do I have any recourse? Assistant: Why give them your info if you didnt want your credit pulled. Certain info is needed to pull a credit inquiry. I assume theyll defend themselves with that.Human: Thing is they told me they needed some information just for verification purposes. No talk of a credit pull.  <response>: But to his point, theres nothing to verify if youre not buying from them. Just dont give them the info in the future.
