FARMERS INSURANCE GROUP Transunion Farmers pulls up credit reports without authorization - no one wants to answer my questions - Pulling up credit reports for marketing purposes ??? Los Angeles California

Pulled up my  annual credit  report and saw  Farmes  Ins. Group on it.  Since I never dealt with these guys in my life  I  called  Transunion  and asked them how they could pull up my report without my  authorization.  

The  answer  was  "they  only  made an  account review,  they don't  need your  authorization for that,  you have to call them to find out why  they did it if  you don't  have an account with them."

I  tried to call the number that was posted on my  report but it was a  fax number.  Called Transunion again:  "sorry,  thats the only number we have  for them,  we can't  help you."

I googled  their  address on 4680  Wilshire Blvd (the one that was printed on my report)  and  called  that  office.  They  hung  up on me several times and  finally  they  gave me the number for their "service center"   in kansas.  naturally,  they  did not have any  idea  what I  was talking about  and were  not able  to answer my  question  why  Farmers  pulls up my  credit report  if  I  never  contacted them  or  made  any  sort  of  inquiry.  Actually,  I  would  never  do  any  business with them  after  all the reports that I  read  and  I  would  not  even think  about  applying for insurance from them.

It  looks  like  they  use  credit  reports  for  marketing purposes  to  sneak into  peoples  finances.

Where is  the privacy  in this  country ?    It  stinks  that  this is  legal.
