When your credit report gets checked, there are two types of inquiries that can show up on your credit report - "hard" inquiries, and "soft" inquiries.

When a creditor pulls your credit report after you apply for a line of credit or loan, this is considered a "hard" inquiry. This will lower your credit score, and will show up on your credit report for 2 years. These inquiries will also be visible when you apply for credit in the future. Having 1 to 3 of these inquires a year won't hurt your score much at all, but having 6 or more of these in only a few months will definitely hurt your credit score. Also, these inquires will have no affect on your credit score after 1 year has passed.

A "soft" inquiry is only visible when you view your own credit report. Examples of these are you ordering your credit report, or a creditor checking your credit report to see if you qualify for them to send you credit card applications (not initiated by you). These inquiries are only visible to you, and do not lower your credit score or affect you getting credit at all. You have nothing to worry about.

go to http://annualcreditreport.com

Checking your credit report doesn't hurt you.

The official site to get free credit reports is https://www.annualcreditreport.com/ or you can follow the link to that from http://www.ftc.gov/

Getting your own credit report does not affect your score (report is free, but it may cost extra to get an actual score).

If I'm not mistaken, I know once a year you can request a free credit report from a few different government sites, no penalties whatsoever. I would check into those.

Hi there, thought I might be able to help. There is only one place in the US to receive your free credit report, and that is www.annualcreditreport.com .

You are only allowed to pull your credit report once a year for free, and it doesn't include a credit score. (You'll have to pay if you want a credit score.

Pulling your own credit report here will not harm your score. If you have a company pull it, I have heard that on average it will ding you about 2 points for a period of about 60 days every time a creditor checks your report.

Hope that helps!

Why do you want it?
Why are Americans fascinated by their credit??
Just pay your bills as best as you can, and it is what it is!
(It's another way of getting money out of you)
