Hey guys. I have a quick question here. When my credit is checked I know my score drops but is this drop permanent? I've heard that after a year these inquires are erased and the points are added back to your score but, I'm wondering if that's true. Thanks in advance.

You're right..your Credit Score DOES drop, a bit, when someone checks it. But, it DOES go up, again, as time goes on. However......the more you have Credit Inquiries ('Hard' Inquiries....lenders, car dealerships, etc.) the score will drop more. Hope this onformation helps.

IC IC. So once my score goes down after it is checked is there any certain thing that I need to do to get it back up or do I just get those points back after certain amount of time? I've heard that just by having loans out and such I will get those points back even if I have not started paying on them (student loans, etc.) Is that right?

Hi,

Your credit score drops when you have your credit pulled and get denied for credit. These hard inquiries will stay on your credit report for 2 years. After that your score goes back up!!

Wow, that is a long time to have that on your credit report, is there anyway to remove these, I mean if they are going to deny you the credit it is like a double wammy on you. Your score falls and you don't get the credit anyway, that is not fair.

Does anyone have a letter that one could use to remove the hard inquiries off your report? If so, please share??????

I am not sure but maybe there is a letter in the sample letter available in the sample letter section of this site, has anyone checked there? Might be a good place to start, if not, it might be a good project for someone to do. Is anybody up to the task?

Hi c_ross
Marc is right, whenever a creditor checks your credit report, it gets listed there as a hard inquiry and it remains in the credit report for 2 years. However, as far as I know, these hard inquiries may lower your credit score to as much as 10 points.

But hard inquiries can be removed from the credit report only if it is unauthorized. I searched through creditmagic and found a sample letter for removal of hard inquiry. The link is http://www.creditmagic.org/letters/credit-inquiry.html . Hope this will help you.

Hi,

Perfect, it seems you have all the help you need. Use the sample letter that the other user posted and get your hard inquiries removed. When getting into Credit Repair (that is what we are talking about) it is always a good idea to read the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA)

If you any more questions let me know! Very Happy

Did I misunderstand or did the above post say you can get Hard Inquiries off ONLY if they are unauthorized? (I think?) if you inquire about your OWN credit, no points are taken off. Correct if I'm wrong, please.
