This is a close friend...he wouldn't bullshit me about anything. Nor does he have any reason to since I'm not buying or planning on buying a car from him

Talked to a consumer advice person fro the Clark Howard show....they told me this isn't a big deal and that the info cannot be repurposed. I'm not buying or financing anything again anytime soon and my score is high enough it isn't really that much of an issue. I just need to make sure that the paperwork says "one time use" or something of that nature. Talked to a credit agency employee on anotehr forum and he said that there are other ways of getting security/OFAC info that don't involve a credit pull too that I should inquire about
