Cyberattacks can cause big damage, not just to your money but also to how others trust you. It's important to stay safe online and shield yourself from these risks.
Learn how to remove all your information from 700Credit, regain control of your online identity, and keep yourself safe from a big privacy problem.
700Credit isn't a credit score. It's a company that helps car dealerships by providing them with credit reports to see if customers can get loans.
They also offer tools to make sure dealerships follow rules and services to guess a customer's credit score without affecting it.
700Credit doesn't gather your information directly. It helps dealerships get your credit report, so the information collection happens at the dealership.
When you ask for a loan at a dealership, you let them check your credit report from big credit bureaus like Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
The dealership sends your details (like your name and Social Security number) to 700Credit, who then connects with the credit bureaus.
700Credit gets your credit report from the authorized bureaus and gives it to the dealership.
Dealerships must follow the law (FCRA) when getting your credit report. They need your permission before asking for it.
Choosing not to share your credit report for dealership financing is separate from opting out of 700Credit. Here's why it's important:
Sharing your credit report means sharing private money details. Opting out lets you decide who sees this information and when.
Hard inquiries, which check your full credit report, can temporarily lower your credit score. Opting out reduces the number of these inquiries for dealership financing.
Opting out lets you decide when to get financing. You can check your credit report early and fix any problems to boost your score before getting a loan.
To opt out of 700credit.com, just email them at [email protected] and ask them to opt out. They'll take care of the rest!
And that's how you can opt out of 700Credit.
