Question About Hard Inquiries

How do hard inquiries age off your CR. I have 3 HIs on my EX all almost one year old. Have they been losing their negative effect gradually over the year, increasing my score slowly. Or at the one year mark wil my score jump due to their age.

They are supposed to no longer effect fico scoring after an year. They will remain on your credit report for two years though.

The impact decreases during the year, but exactly how isn't publicized.  All we know for sure is:

 

a) No score impact at all after 1 year

b) removed from report after 2 years.

That I don't know how much it affects,I think it has to do with your overall credit file

Re: Question About Hard Inquiries

I had a dozen auto inquiries hit 1 year old in April and my score didn't change at all.

Only a couple were actually coded as auto according to what I could see on my reports... I haven't pursued changing it because it makes little difference now. The next auto I buy will be pre approved by my CU... So this won't happen again.
