I checked my EQ score this month and it listed an Inquiry from Hertz rental car company...
Story goes like this - Last month I took my car in for some warranty work. The warranty provides me with loaner for the days needed for repair. The dealership doesn't provide their own loaners anymore as they now outsource it through Hertz. After noticing this inquiry on my report, I call Hertz and ask them why they ran my credit without my approval. The clerk stated that "There is a pamphlet on the counter that states they run a credit check when a debit card is used instead of a true CC." At no point did the clerk on the day of the rental provide me with this pamphlet, ask me to read it in full, nor did I sign anything prior to him swiping my card. This check shows as a hard pull right after a check run by my LO and my score fell 18pts from a month ago. I know this may seem minor but it absolutely infuriates me. Is this legal or am I just blowing up for no reason??? Thanks in advance for any info...
P.S.. These forums have helped me tremendously over the past year and I would like to thank all that participate in this "support group" for exceptional guidance.
