It just boggles the fucking mind. How are credit score companies even legal in the first place? Isn’t the point of GDPR (and all the other data protection laws) to stop companies collecting your personal info and then sharing it with other parties against your own interests? Can I call up Experian and demand they delete my file? Please someone just class-action sue these guys into oblivion.


Not sure why this is getting downvoted. I get that GDPR permits legitimate interest but being able to request deletion should be doable. It isnt.
