Score Watch?!

[Anonymous]

I would say just have FICO score alert and be patient with alerts. Dont waste your money on other alerts.

I have a question!!!  I have had scorewatch and TC since 6/23/07.  I have only recieved 4 alerts in that time. So I have not really had much experience with the scorewatch and TC systems. My question is; Does scorewatch and TC alert me when a get hard and soft INQ's? And if so, how do they identifiy the difference?

I don't think that is one of the alert settings.

But do they show some how on their reports? Cuase I see only hard INQ's.  At least I think they are all hard.

I think the MyFICO reports show only hard inqs from the last two years, as these are the ones impacting your score.  For soft inqs I think you need to go to the CRAs.  They give you a two year history of soft and hard.

yeah ...I know they show on the purchased reports I have had. That is why I asked. I did know if I had enough time on scorewatch and TC to see them...Thanks for the info Midnight!
