It will vary state by state.

In florida you can force their hand if you are a veteran or in one of a few specialized jobs. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/statutes/index.cfm?mode=View%20St...

In other states, usually you can do something if you show you are a victim of 'fraud' or abuse. Fraud might be easy to prove, if someone ever stole your password or something

Used to be, in the good old days, getting yourself off lexisnexis did a good chunk of the heavy lifting out of these data pits.

For anyone who doesn't know what BlockShopper does, what does it do?

See https://blog.incogni.com/blockshopper-opt-out/

It is nigh impossible to remove data from them.
