I never asked for a credit score. I don’t use credit. They have made it very clear breach sfter breach that I don’t want them to have my data. How do I remove myself from credit data agencies?

This is the result of having too many “nothing to hide” idiots.

They are all meaning to say “not my problem”, but all they’re doing is create problems for themselves and their kids. They only notice, as always with privacy, when it’s entirely too late.

I don’t think you can. A credit score and a credit report is what companies use to determine if you can get credit from them and at what terms.

If you are in the USA, freeze your credit. So many data breaches happen to millions of people regularly. Be safe.

The best you can do is freeze them, you just have to do each on separate on their respective websites.
