What they did is a "soft inquiry", which does not lower your credit score. They purchase information from the credit reporting agencies of consumers that fit the credit criteria they market to and usually you get solicitations for loans, credit cards, etc. You can write all three CRAs and tell them you wish to "opt out" and it won't happen again.

Maria, If you haven't applied for a loan with any car company, and haven't contacted any loan companies yourself I would suggest putting a fraud notification on your credit immediately as it sounds to me as though someone has your identity and is attempting to use it to buy a car.
