Slimans Sales Service Slimans Dishonest; had credit report pulled after they were told NOT to Amherst, Ohio

I went to Slimans around 1/30/2012 to look at a car.

The salesman, Tom Szudarek, asked if I would sign a consent for my credit report to be pulled to ascertain what APR I would qualify for.  I told him, "I do not want a report pulled.  The more times a report is pulled, the lower ones score goes."  He asked me at least twice throughout our time together for me to sign the consent but I refused.

We ended the meeting when I told him I would discuss the car with my husband.

Tom called the next day to tell me what my interest would be and more information about the car.  He also left a message but I didn't return his call.

On 2/9/2012 I received a letter from a local bank informing me what our options were for financing the car from Slimans and loan amount.  Tom and I never agreed on a loan amount!  It was apparent from this letter that Slimans told this bank that it was okay to run a credit report!

I called and spoke with a sales manager, and told him how angry I was that Slimans invaded my privacy by pulling my credit report without my consent.  I also told him to NEVER call me again and that I would NEVER buy a car from them!!!

I felt totally violated!  I am still in total shock that my credit report was pulled when I was VERY specific not to pull one.

To add insult to injury, Slimans also pulled my husband's credit report.  My husband wasn't even there when I looked at the car.  My husband was at WORK!!!!!  What a total and complete invasion of privacy!
