I never asked for a credit score. I don't use credit. They have made it very clear breach sfter breach that I don't want them to have my data. How do I remove myself from credit data agencies?

I don't think you can. A credit score and a credit report is what companies use to determine if you can get credit from them and at what terms.

If you are in the USA, freeze your credit. So many data breaches happen to millions of people regularly. Be safe.
