    You are not entitled, but demand proof that they really ran a credit check on you. Some scamers collect application fees from several applicants at the same time, but never run their credit. They merely pocket the money. Besides, individuals like individual home owners have no way to checking anyone's credit. Only credit bureau members can check credit, and membership is not available to individuals.

    Beat you out by 2 points, really??

    You could also check your own credit by contacting http://www.annualcreditreport.com/

    You are entitled to one free credit report per year from each of the three major credit bureaus. If anyone ran a credit report on you, then it will show up in your credit report.
