So you’re doing your recommended once-a-year review of your credit report, and everything looks fine. Then you get to the end, to a section labeled “Inquiries.” And listed there are dozens of companies you’ve never heard of. What? WHO ARE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE LOOKING INTO MY CREDIT???
If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone. I have reviewed a lot of credit reports with a lot of clients. And suffice it to say that a lot of people are shocked and bewildered at the number of inquiries into their credit. And this is not a baseless concern: studies show that the number of “hard” inquiries into your credit have a negative impact on your overall credit rating. What is a “hard” credit inquiry? Generally, any inquiry that is not a “promotional” inquiry only is considered a “hard” inquiry. Promotional inquiries are those inquiries that pop up when, for example, a credit card company pays Experian for a list of all the people in Baldwin County, Alabama who have a credit score of over 600 and mortgage debt of less than $200,000. They use that information to pump your mailbox full of wonderful credit card offers.
A hard inquiry, on the other hand, is a traditional credit inquiry, where a potential creditor looks into your credit for the purpose of evaluating you for a loan, lease, or something like that. Hard inquiries are strictly regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. In theory, at least.
So what can you do about it? Well, first, you need to determine if they are legit or not. Just because you don’t recognize a financial institution listed in your inquiries doesn’t automatically mean something nefarious is going on. So don’t freak out. For instance, if you went car shopping recently, you may have signed a credit application with a car dealership authorizing them to communicate with multiple banks to find you the best deal (or, more cynically, to find them the best deal).
How do you do this? Well, as with so many legal problems, it never hurts to send a nice letter. You can write the financial institution and straight up ask them: Did you receive a credit application from me or someone else on my behalf on April 1, 2020? If so, who sent the credit application? What did you do with it? Was I approved or denied? Also, if you were denied, be sure to ask for a copy of your adverse action notice. If you were denied credit based on a credit report, they are required to tell you so and then you have 60 days to get a free copy of the credit report they used to evaluate your application. If they denied you and didn’t send an adverse action notice, they broke the law. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits any creditor from holding a credit application for more than 30 days. It also requires them to send you a written notice of denial within 30 days of receiving your application. The denial – called a “adverse action notice” – must also tell you why you were denied.
Why bother with this? Well, there are two reasons. First, if you can determine that any of the inquiries were not authorized by you, then they should be deleted from your report. This could help your credit score a little. Second, the adverse action notices can be helpful in figuring out if you were cheated in the underlying transaction. Let’s say that you went and bought a car, and the dealership told you that the best financing they could find was a $18,000 loan at 22.99% APR and a monthly payment of $443. But when you contact these creditors, you learn that one of them actually APPROVED your application for that very same auto loan – at 16%!!!
If you’re ready to take action and figure out what all those inquiries are about, take a look at my Alabama Consumer Resources Page. There’s a document there that can help you get started.
"Licensed in Alabama and Texas. We are a debt relief agency. We help people file for bankruptcy relief under the Bankruptcy Code. No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers. The use of this website DOES NOT establish an attorney-client relationship between Judson E. Crump, PC and you."
I noticed I have soft inquiries in my report. Is the process mentioned above advised for these as well?
Technically yes, but as a practical matter, soft inquiries by definition have no impact on your credit score, so taking the CRA to court for a soft inquiry would most likely be a waste of time.

On my Experian report, there were 3 soft inquiries made by “Court” during the year on dates which coincided with dates a couple banks made hard inquiries regarding my mortgage loan application. The “Court” entry did not list its address. What is this Court?
If you feel that the late payment reporting is a mistake, you should first reach out to your creditor to verify. Furthermore, you should check bank statements and any statements sent from the creditor to determine if the report is a mistake. Once you have reached out to your creditor, they typically have 30 days to review the account and determine if the late payment report was a mistake or not I was going through this just last month when I needed to remove inquiries and late payments. Both my credit bureaus did little or nothing about it ,after several calls. I finally realized that many of the top credit companies are not as efficient as we expect them to be, sometimes consulting private repair expert is a better option. Glad i came across a financial expert Cyber Space, who helped me out. it is actually a simple thing to build. A little extra help from a data scientist who taught me about utilization and playing “ the cards game “ went a very long way to raise my credit score to 806 from 626. He help repair my credit which has helped me achieve all that I planned out without having to wait for 7 years. Reach out yourself to him on his mail cybspace279 At Gmail Dot Com. if you are in serious need of a credit repair expert. He’s not like any other as he does this as a revolutionary way of protesting the “system” designed to keep the masses under. Great course, I believe you’ll agree with me.
THE BEST PROFESSIONAL HACKER TO HIRE IS RECOVERYBUREAUC @ GMAIL COM
I recently hired the best team of hackers known as RecoveryBureauC to help me bust my cheating wife. They were able to clone her phone and with the help of sophisticated spyware, I was able to mirror her phone’s activity and gain access to her emails, text messages, and other data. I was shocked and horrified to discover that not only was she cheating, but that she was actively planning to leave me and my 3 year old son. I couldn’t believe the level of betrayal, as she ridiculed me with her friends while I was busy trying to make our marriage work. The process only took close to an hour, and I’m still spying on her as I haven’t yet gathered enough courage to confront her. Every day, it seems like I discover more and more about her infidelity, and I’m heartbroken but relieved to have enough motive to close this bad chapter of my life. I hate that I had to resort to spying on her, but she left me no choice. I want to thank RecoveryBureauC for their professionalism, they are the real deal. I would not waste my time with any of these other hackers, and wish I had known about them sooner. The use of spywares, bugs, and malwares to hack into phones and other data is a highly technical and advanced process, and RecoveryBureauC were able to carry out the task with skill and expertise. I would highly recommend their services to anyone in a similar situation. You can email them at RECOVERYBUREAUC @ GMAIL C0M
