Yesterday I applied for an account with Ameritech. I applied on the phone. Today I saw a hard on my Equifax file. My score went from 635 to 628. The fact that a credit report would be run was not discussed. I am upset that my credit was pulled without my permission. I feel as if my privacy has been invaded. I wish to sue for damages. Does anyone have any input?
Ok. I've reviewed the Fair Credit Reporting Act, particularly 604-A. I certainly did not authorize this pull, but do I have a leg to stand on in court?
Hi Tom - SBC owns Ameritech. SBC is based out of San Antonio, TX: www.sbc.com Interesting - you would think they should disclose that.....don't know what your chances are but good information - and you have a good point. aarrff - dogman
