Just got a FAKO and FICO alert for the mortgage app that was run yesterday. I lost 10 pts on my EX FAKO but my fico score remained the same. Should I expect a hit to my fico score later on?
Moving the post, but not necessarily. Inquiries are scored on a step function in the FICO algorithm, in that one additional inquiry doesn't necessarily move you into a lower scoring bucket. or more score damage for that individual one. Hauling had a nice writeup about it at one point which I should go and find for easy linkage, but for example on inquiry counts:
0->1: negative
1->2: no change
2->3: negative
or something akin to this.
