∙ 8y agoThe answer depends on the reason behind the credit inquiry. If this was for a car loan or mortgage application, the bureaus do allow for "shopping time" for these types of transactions. You will have 30 days to initiate any number of similar inquiries (home or car loan) and it will only have the same effect as one (in other words, if you apply at 5 different mortgage lenders, all 5 credit inquiries will only count as 1, until the 30 days expire). If this was for a personal loan, credit, or other transaction, then yes, each inquiry will count against your score, but typically the worst credit inquiries can affect your score is 10 - 15 points max. and it would take quite a few to effect your score by even that much. Furthermore, they fall off after only 2 years, so they really have a very minimal effect on your FICO.
Hope this helps!

∙ 8y agoProbably not. The formula used to compute credit scores is proprietary, which means only the 3 companies that make your credit score know exactly what factors affect it and how; however, what gets reported to them is whether or not you pay as agreed. What that means is whether or not you paid the minimum payment due during each billing cycle. If you do, it helps your credit score. Paying twice may indirectly help your credit score by lowering the amount of debt you owe, but twice monthly payments are not something that is reported to the bureaus that is factored into your score.
Unless the authorization you signed specified only ONE pull of your credit report, then you have little recourse. It is typical for lenders of all types to perform multiple pulls of a consumers' credit report when trying to secure financing. For this reason, the scoring models count multiple pulls within a short period of time as only one pull.
Yes, I am 27 years old I've had credit history for the past 3 years, I have NEVER missed a payment, always paid on time and I only have two credit cards that are open. I cosigned an automobile loan for a "friend" they paid late twice and I just found out my score is 584. BS right.
NO
Just don't close those accounts. It should help your score. Here is a excert from Phil Turner's Credit Bible. Its a good reference to get information about this matter. Here are points to consider: 1. Concentrate your efforts on entries in your credit report that's less than two years old. Some things are not that important to challenge when attempting to increase your credit score. Personal information, e.g. address, employment, birthday are not important to your credit score. If you see a different name or social security number on your credit report, take notice, you could be a victim of identity thief and must make this a high priority to look into this matter to have these items removed. Important items are as follows:A. Collection accounts less than two years old and duplicates collection accounts. Some collections accounts are report twice and total illegal. Make challenge this one of your highest priority. B. Other duplicate items. C. Accounts that do not belong to you should be a high priority. D. Credit Card Limit being reported correctly should be a high priority. 2. Important: Reduce the balance of your credit cards to 30% and below of your credit limit. If you have a credit card with a $5,000 limit, your balance reported to the credit bureau should be $1500 and under in order to have a excellent credit score. If you go over this amount it will affect what is called your "utilization rate." Credit score formulas respond favorable to utilization 30% and below. It's a good idea to assess all of your credit cards and align them correctly with this formula. Use the form in the appendix. Please note: if you have an American Express card or card with no preset limits. You will be rated on the highest credit you have charged and the 30% rule still applies. Try using the card to increase your high credit limit by spending more with the card with cash you were already going to use and get that limit up to a ratio that will keep you within 30% of that high credit. This is why if you pay your credit off each month in full will not give you a great credit score.

You can obtain your credit report for free through your credit card company twice a year. You can also request your credit history through equifax, transunion, or experian for a small fee.
Yes. Once for each word.

Yes!
Credit bureaus don't update your credit scores. They update your credit reports. It is a third party company (FICO, Beacon) who processes the information on your credit reports and produces your credit scores. I have continuous real-time access to my Equifax score, and it updated once at the end of February, and then increased by a point in Mid-March. So I'm going to say twice a month based on my experience with accessing my Equifax Fico Score. I can't be certain about the other two bureaus. Basic credit information is reported and updated (usually once a month, sometimes less frequently) by the creditors. Your credit score is a calculation based on that data. The calculation is only performed when a score is requested. So, your score would be updated only upon request.
