    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?

    Interesting - you would think they should disclose that.....don't know what your chances are but good
    information - and you have a good point.
