Questions Fréquentes

Why did my credit score drop for no reason?

There's always a reason, even if it's not obvious. The most common 'mystery' drops come from a credit card balance being reported higher than usual, a credit limit decrease you didn't notice, or an old account falling off your report. Check your full report at AnnualCreditReport.com to find the cause.

How long does it take for a credit score to recover after a drop?

It depends on the cause. A high balance that you pay off recovers in 1 to 2 billing cycles. A hard inquiry impact fades in 3 to 6 months. A late payment takes 12 to 24 months to recover from. A bankruptcy takes 7 to 10 years but improves steadily over time.

Can checking my credit score make it drop?

No. Checking your own credit score (a soft inquiry) does not affect it. Only hard inquiries from lenders when you apply for credit cause a temporary dip of 5 to 10 points. You can check your own score as often as you want with zero impact.
