Is it legal for an auto dealership to obtain a pre-qualification in your name?
Backstory: I previously contacted them for viewing a vehicle but changed my mind. Now they won't leave me the fuck alone.
I know it's not the same as getting a pre-approval but won't they still be pulling my credit? How fucked am I? I haven't given them any info so I am assuming it's all just b.s. to try to get me to respond.

This is basically what email says:
Based on the information you have provided me, I have obtained a loan pre-qualification in your name for one of our finance programs.

Check credit karma to see if there was a pull. It's probably just a scam to get your money

they're probably trying to fearmonger you into buying something.
If you didn't sign anything I don't think the dealer can legally do shit to force you into buying a car.

i got preapproved for some shit loan and it actually popped up as an open auto loan on my credit report, even though i didn't accept the loan or sign anything

Did you do anything about it? How did it get resolved? Can you sue those fuckers for it?
