I was looking to buy a new truck. I went to several car lots and test drove many trucks. They had me fill out an application before I took the truck. I told each and every one of them "do not run a credit check unless I tell you I want to buy this truck." They all said that they wouldnt. Well, they all did. Now I have 8 hits on my credit record from all of these A-holes! Do you think if I write the credit companies they will take these off of there? Can the car lots legally do this? I know that it hurts my credit score anytime anyone checks on your credit, especially when 8 different dealers do this. I found out by finding a truck that I wanted to buy, and the credit guy coming out and saying "no one will give you credit huh?". I have no problem getting a loan, but now it looks like I do. WTF
