    Received a solicitation from a mortgage company to refinance. Called and had a casual conversation of 'what ifs'. Just pulled PG report and they pulled a hard inquiry!! Can they pull without having my SS# or did they somehow obtain it? I didn't give it to them or authorize a pull. Other than calling and asking them to remove, do I have to get into return receipt letters to them?

    They DON'T need the SS# to pull.

    Wondering, you can call them and ask them to remove, if that is your biggest concern. If they refuse, and you want it gone, you would probably have to write a couple of letters. Pulling your cr without a permissable purpose is a $1000 statutory fine.
