I was online two days ago looking for auto loan rates, and I happened to stop at this site and I filled out all my information, but later on i realized that the site was an unsecure site and I am worried about my personal information....
The site name is yourfinance.co.cc
Would anyone who I can contact, or what should I do to protect myself & information from being used by strangers?
(i know I WAS DUMB)

Cancel any credit cards or bank accounts for which you had provided numbers.
Call the credit agencies and report a fraud alert.
Change your e-mail address so that you can’t be spammed or scammed through it.
I hope you will be OK, just be very careful in future.
Well, contact that company and see if they got it and what they did with it. If you gave credit card or bank account info, consider contacting them and blocking transactions and transfers. If you are in the US, contact the three credit reporting agencies for options. They can help.
Report it to the the credit agencies, put an alert on your name. They will alert you any time anybody including yourself tries to open up an account:
http://www.experian.com/
http://www.equifax.com/home/
http://www.transunion.com/

Good luck.
I would contact all three credit reporting agencies, transunion, experian and equifax to put a note on your credit bureaus so that any time credit is requested you receive notification before credit is granted.
I would contact any financial institutions to let them know and ask what procedures they have in place to protect you, if you gave a card number have it blocked and a new card issued.
These are the basic steps, monitor your credit at http://www.annualcreditreport.com which is the free site where you can monitor your credit and get one of each of the three major bureaus for free each year. Pull one every couple of months to check activity.
