Preguntas Frecuentes

Does checking my own credit hurt my score?

No, self-checks are always soft inquiries and have zero credit inquiry impact. Pull free weekly reports from AnnualCreditReport.com without worry.

How long do hard inquiries stay on my credit report?

Hard pulls linger two years, but FICO scores only ding you for the last 12 months. Impact fades faster.

What's the difference between pre-qualification and a full application?

Pre-qual uses soft pulls—no score hit. Full apps trigger hard pulls. Always pre-qual first.

Can multiple hard inquiries be good for my score?

Not directly, but the 45-day rate shopping window treats similar ones (like auto loans) as one. Shop smart.

Do landlords or employers do hard or soft pulls?

Often soft for jobs, but rentals can be hard. Ask before applying to confirm.

How can I remove a hard inquiry from my report?

You can't easily—dispute only if unauthorized under FCRA. Focus on time; it expires naturally.
