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?

It's not just a breach you have to worry about. Credit agencies actively monetize your financial data by selling it to anyone who wants it. You didn't give it to them, you didn't authorize it, they collect it and they sell it.
