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?

    Assuming you live in the USA.

    Short answer:: No.

    Long answer:: yes but you’re basically living as a criminal, rather— you’d have no bank accounts; no credit cards; and you’d live on cash alone paying no taxes as you’d have to work under the table ( no one messes with the IRS). — or— leave the USA and do the above…

    So if you want any kind of “modern life “ put a freeze on all your credit accounts and check them annually

      I’d add one tip- you can go to annual credit report.com and get a free report once a year.

      The trick is to request just one per 4 months. First transunion or whoever, then experian, then Equifax, etc. No need to wait a year for a current report.
