It is instructive that anything was able to make it into the credit report of this person who did not sign any contract, in that credit reports are generally only accessed through the expedient of a social security number. How is it that you provided a social security number to these folks and neglected to sign a document? It strikes me a necessary that information like this would be protected in the event that no contractual arrangement was to be agreed-upon. For others to learn from this, do not offer information or sign/write anything unless you are committed to executing the contract, there's no harm in saying 'no' at any stage of negotiations, and never ever be frightened of retrieving forms/documents that you do not wish to have retained by personnel, there's no legal standing for them to retain such except through hubris.
