What is a Hard Inquiry Removal?
3
  • It might seem like one of those questions that
    you should just know the answer to, but the truth
    is most Americans don't know what their FICO
    credit score is, and they dont know that every
    credit inquiry they have contributes to this
    final number.
  •  
  • Simply put, a credit inquiry is a request for
    information about your credit by a legitimate
    business which will either appear on your credit
    bureau, or won't. What determines whether or not
    an inquiry will appear is the type of inquiry it
    is, soft or hard.

Soft Credit Inquiry

  • A soft credit inquiry in a credit check that
    wont affect your credit score and includes you
    checking your own credit, a company determining
    your eligibility for a credit product before
    offering it you (such as a pre-approved credit
    card) or an inquiry from a business that you deal
    with regularly and have a current credit account
    with.

Hard Credit Inquiry
7
  • A hard credit inquiry will impact your credit
    score, and happens when a business reviews your
    bureau to extend you more credit. This could
    include a credit check for a mortgage, a car, or
    a new credit card. Each time your credit is
    checked for a different product, another credit
    inquiry is added to your bureau, changing your
    overall score.

Why is credit inquiry recorded?
9
  • Hard inquires are recorded to help future lenders
    determine your overall credit stability and
    whether or not you are a credit seeker (someone
    who seeks credit wherever they can). The more
    hard inquiries you have, the more it appears that
    you are desperate for credit and could
    potentially represent a lending risk when it
    comes to collecting.
  •  
  • Because of this, you may need to remove inquiries
    to increase your reputability with a lender and
    in this situation, you can attempt to remove
    inquiries by calling, emailing or snail-mailing
    the lender responsible, but more often than not
    you will want to contact a company such as
    Inquiry Busters that specializes in this type of
    credit repair as they will be able remove
    inquiries quickly, providing the most benefit to
    those seeking credit in the near future.
