I have a question about inquiries. Let's say i have 5 inquiries on TU. I don't, but lets say i do..........My question is, let's say 4 are over 12 months old, and i can't see them on the report anymore, it only shows me 1 that is earlier than 12 months. Do potential lenders or cc companies see ALL of them, or do they see only what i see?? A friend of mine asked me this question, and i only told them what i could see. I have 2, but only one is newer than 12 months old. I don't see the other.
Sorry if this sounds silly. Curious if lenders have different looks at the report than we do?
Thanks, Tom
well yesterday there was a post about Chase and the underwriter mentioned inq that were over 12 months old... so I think they can see 24 which I don't think is fair
if you pull FICO reports, you will only see the inquiries that are currently counting against you.
if you get reports from the actual credit bureaus themselves, they will show you whatever number of inquiries you have had in the last 2 years.
What's a little interesting is that I've had inquiries dropping like flies on my Fico reports after hitting the one year mark but yet all of them appear on my Credit Check Total reports..

That's because the myFICO reports don't display inqs after one year, because they no longer affect your scores.
They will remain on your full credit reports for two years, and lenders will be able to see them.

Hevans no! Placing the happy dance on hold? Bite your tongue myfico child (lol), since the inq that you thought dropped off,
were still there but passed the 1 year mark...
you can still technically do the happy dance to celebrate them aging beyond 1year and no longer damaging your score
IME many lenders also take much less stock in inq more than 1 yr old upon app but this can vary widely and some will probably 'count' them (for purposes of evaluating/decisioning app) for the full two years.

Well, instead of doing the happy dance I can just do the Elaine dance instead. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xi4O1yi6b0
It's a shame, I was planning to go this year without any new inquiries and then apply with the NASA credit union in late December but then First Premier messed me up recently by doing a hard pull before giving me a $100 credit line increase.
I've made on time payments with them for 1 year and 1 month and they still dinged me on TransUnion.
