    So many companies harvest and keep information nowadays, and use it to harrass people.

    They claim that it doesn't affect your credit score, but that isn't true, as a friend found to her cost. Write to the company Data Protection Officer asking to be removed from their database. If they don't comply, complain to ICO.
