Can collection agencies actually run credit reports on me without my authorization?

Good question?

I just received an alert stating Buzik&Dyn. ran a hard inquiry on my credit report. When I googled them, I discovered they were a law firm dealing in short term real estate and collections. I never looked into real estate so I am assuming it's collections for something but don't know what. How concerned should I be and what steps should I take??
