Is it legal for a car dealership to run your credit without your approval I did not provide them my SS number I have no idea how they got it?
There are two different types of credit inquiries. One is when you request that a potential creditor run your credit in order to obtain some type of credit offer. This type requires you to approve the credit check and may ultimately affect your credit score. The second is a general review that many larger credit offering organizations pay to have access to. This type is the kind that you do not have to approve and do not affect your credit score. I would figure out which type the company performed. If it was the first type, you have reason to contact the credit reporting bureau to begin an investigation at no charge.
