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?

    In a general sense, you are discussing a way to control other people and organizations, and to make them stop talking about you. (Communicating and storing your information) This isn’t always possible or practical.

    If you pay a merchant with your payment card, that merchant is allowed to know your payment card number. If you call a toll free number, the recipient of your call is allowed to know your phone number.

    If they decide to share what they learn about you, and they do so legally, there’s not a whole lot you can do to stop them. I’m not saying this to antagonize or hurt you. I invite you to think differently about what you can control and what is worth worrying about.

      I’m constantly having identity theft issues since a data breach at work. It changes you. Going to the IRS building constantly. Getting notifications from a credit monitoring sites. It’s ridiculous how much time I need to prove I am myself just to pay my own taxes.

        That really sucks. I can’t imagine the stress you must be feeling. I hope things level out for you soon. Hang in there.
