The Credit Inquiry; A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing
To the average consumer the most innocent item on their credit
report is the credit inquiry, but in-fact it is, to coin a
phrase " a wolf in sheep's clothing." Although the credit
inquiry is just a potential creditors look into a consumers
credit file, it can be more damaging than being refused credit,
because to many inquires tell other creditors that the previous
potential credit grantors found the consumers to be a great
risk. And, the inquiry can remain on the credit repot for up to
two years unchallenged, this means that too many looks into a
credit file will damage the consumers credit.
So let's just get an understanding of what the creditor sees
when they pull up the consumers' credit file. If the consumer
has had at least ten inquires in the past two years with no
corresponding payment history, then that translates into ten
potential credit grantors that did not feel they where worth the
risk. But, there is hope for relieving the negativity associated
with having to many credit inquiries.
First, the consumer has the right to have their credit file
restricted from third party viewing, and limited to just
the
potential credit grantors the have chosen by completing an
credit application. The next step will be to reframe from
applying for credit, especially if you credit score is already
low. The goal of decreasing the number of inquiries on a credit
file is to increase the credit score, but unless the negative
entries are also removed, the credit score will not increase.
The best approach to cleaning up a consumers' credit report is
to hire a professional credit repair service to evaluate and
clear the negative items. There are a majority of credit repair
companies that can provide this type of service; one is
Millennium Credit Service and interested persons can find out
more about their services by visiting their website at
http://www.millennium-credit.com. So before applying for credit,
remember that an inquiry is added every time a credit
application is processed.
