A credit inquiry is an item on your credit report that shows with permission a creditor requested your free credit score report.
Not all credit inquiries affect your credit score:
You may notice when you pull your credit report there are inquiries on there from a business you are not familiar with. The only inquiry that affects your credit score is the one where you are applying for credit. This is considered a hard pull on your report.
Inquiries that affect your credit score:
There is only one type of inquiry that affects your credit score. This type of inquiry is applications for a mortgage, auto loan and other credit, by you authorizing these creditors to access your credit report. This type of inquiry prompted by your own actions ends up on your personal credit report and affects your score.
An inquiry that does not affect your credit score: Checking your own personal credit report or any business that offers goods and services that requests your report. A business that you already have a account with that requests a check. A potential employer that does credit checks. Some of these types of inquiries might show up on your report but do not affect your credit score.
Checking your credit report does not affect your credit score:
Checking your credit report on a regular basis to ensure it is accurate and error free is recommended by Fair Isaac the inventor of the FICO Score. Maintaining a error free credit report is part of credit management which will improve your credit rating over time. Ordering your credit report at CreditScoreQuick.com does not hurt your credit score.
How credit inquiries are factored in your Credit Score:
There are five types of information used to calculate your credit score. Each category accounts towards a percentage of your score.
Payment History – 35%
Amounts Owed – 30%
Length of Credit History – 15%
Types of Credit in use – 10%
New Credit – 10%
Don’t let inquires scare you. There is nothing wrong with shopping for a better rate, or better terms on a loan. As you can see in the about chart, payment history is the biggest factor in calculation process of your credit score. The second biggest factor is how much of your approved credit limits are charged up. But of course you don’t want to go out and start applying for every credit offer out there either. Be responsible and have a good mix of credit, but stay away from too much credit as well You really on need 3 lines of credit reporting on your credit report.
Example:
1. credit card
2. car note
3. installment loan
This type of credit mix accounts for 10% of your score.

Help answer the question about credit
How do you get a credit card with bad credit?I am trying to pick my credit score back up off the floor and have heard that you can do this by applying for credit cards and making the payments on them. Nice! Except, I went through a divorce and my credit is now lowsy. I pay all my bills on time and have a decent job, yet credit card companies don't give me the time of day. Does anyone know of a company that will work with a credit slacker like me?
the full song is out , u can find it here in u-tube , album release on 172
I MISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS THEM!!!!!
i dont know what to do anymore!!!! ughhhhhh its driving me nuts seeing them how they are now!!
Your score is based on activity, so it won't really hurt you by not using them, but it won't help you either. However, after a few months of non-use the creditor may decide to close out your account due to inactivity, and that could hurt your score. Because you would loose that credit line and the credit age that account brought.
As long as you use each of the cards at least every couple of months you should be fine. Just make some purchases on them, and pay it off to avoid the interest. Now, you don't want to go over 30% usage, but with credit limits of 10K each unless you have a lot of expenses I don't see you going anywhere near that.
Your talking about 3-5 points maximum and yes you can dispute this with the credit bureaus since you did not authorize this credit check.
Good luck.
i miss them soooooo much T_T they r sooo talented and every song touchs my heart in a way <3
and with all my heart i love dbsk

With all of the negatives appearing on your credit report, I do not recommend that you try to fix these things yourself. Sure, you could, but it might take you two years or more to get most of these items removed.
In the meantime, if you should have to move to a new rental property, buy a car, or need to find a new job, you will be in big trouble. I recommend that you take your credit reports, and send them to National Consumer Rights Alliance.
NCRA can probably fix most, if not all of your issues, within six months. They are really good about protecting your rights, and they are the only organization that I have seen that actually works with lawyers to help them file any FDCPA or FCRA lawsuits against your creditors or the reporting agencies.
Contact them at the website below, and you shouldn't have to wait two years or more to qualify for your home.
The second link will show you how to reestablish your credit, while undergoing the restoration process. Good luck!
This is very possible, the caveat is that they will put you on a one year or two year low monthly payment but they will cancel your card. Which is good. If you have an American express forget it they do not help at all, they will tell you that you have to be in default for two to three months and then they will start harassing you to the point that they will drive you crazy. I chose not to pay them at all. I did paid off all other credit cards using this method. They were very good and my student loans were put in forbearance.
me too…..really missssss them.feels like crazy waiting for them..i can’t stop thinking of them every second i open my eyes…can’t get their voices out of my head..bogoshipda…

Dbsk please be srtong…we need you !!!
The only thing that will show up is the inquiry, it won't show that you were declined. There is no set number of points that it will effect your score, but in general it is a 3-8 point range per inquiry.
As for the time, 45 days is incorrect. Any applications for auto loans within a 14 day period counts only as one, it is 30 days for Mortgages.

can’t wait for album

I'll try to answer. It is hard to get all of your questions in this long paragraph but I'll see what I can do.
1-I would not go with the capital one card at all. They charge you to raise your limit.. they are full of charges and you will never have a good line through them. Ever. They are as bad as First Premiere. I would truly stay away from them at all costs.
2-A secured card does not hurt your score or slow the rise of your score. I would, however, not go with one that charges a fee. You want to find a card that will convert to unsecured and continue to raise your limit so you can build age with it and not have to just close it later. With the Capital One above, you would have to close it when your score is good because you'll never get a really good limit and you'll be stuck with so many fees. With your Wells Fargo, I would consider paying the $35 fee IF and only IF after they convert it to an unsecured card, the fees stop. Otherwise, I'd continue to look for a card that doesn't charge the fees.. they are out there. Everywhere.
3-The CD bit and having the installment loan is excellent and I would try to do this in addition to a secured credit card. If you can get this (installment loan) and 2 credit cards, you will find yourself in VERY nice shape in 1.5-2 yrs. whoever said 5-7 years is not correct. You can EASILY see your score up 100 pts in that time frame. As long as you do the things you say you already know.
4-Here is what I'd suggest. Your EQ score at 648 is actually the average score in the US. It is good enough to get an unsecured card. Go to whogavemecredit.com and put in your state and for it to pick EQ. It will give you results on who else has been in your state, applied for xyz credit and they pulled EQ. That will give you an idea if you may get approved without someone pulling your credit. Sams Club (that you can also use at Walmart) is a good one that will probably approve you.
5-Finally, I'd dispute the negatives on your report. They are old and will probably easily come off with a dispute. That will really help boost your scores. Also, expect your score to dip with the new credit but it will all recover and bounce up after 6 months.
This song is so nice! I cant wait for the full version to be out! I miss their voices so much! Hwaiting ToHoShinKi! (:
Credit card companies will only help you if they feel that it's in their best interest to do so…i.e., you are more than two months in default on your payments and you need help in meeting your obligations to them. In these cases, many will reduce interest to help you out. Otherwise, the ball is in their court and they have no interest in restructuring your payments.
If you are not in default, they have zero interest in providing in assistance to you. Entering into a debt management plan might be an option for you:
Contact your local Red Cross for a referral to the local Consumer Credit Counseling Services (CCCS) in your area. They can negotiate much lower payments and interest rates. They DO NOT negotiate settlements.
They will require you to stop using all credit and to cut up your cards. Your credit report will be updated to "enrolled in debt management." This does not damage your credit, but it may make it impossible to obtain new credit while you are enrolled in their program….so don't use this service if you anticipate applying for a new apartment, car loan or mortgage anytime soon, as you would probably be denied while you're enrolled in the CCCS debt management program…. Otherwise, it can be a very good way to deal with your debt.
