Has anyone been softed (account review) on TU multiple times in a month by Synchrony lately? I have 4 Visas with them and my Walmart store card as well, so they could certainly be softing for each, but wanted to know if anyone else had been softed by them multiple times in a month lately.
Just like to keep on top of things. Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi could you let me know how you can verify if a lender is softing you? . Still learning and i believe from what ive read around here you maybe referring to have to actually pull your reports from your free annual credit report to see soft pulls ?Any info on this is greatly appreciated!
Hi, if you pull a full TU, EX, or EQ report directly from TU, EX, or EQ, you should also be able to see soft inquiries as well as hard inquiries. Normally you will need to pay for the report directly from the credit bureau.
I haven't done the free annual (combined) reports in years because the last time I did (several years ago), it did not seem to include all of the information for some reason. Since I haven't pulled the free report for some time, I cannot say if the free annual reports currently include this. Possibly the combined reports may truncate some information.
I do know that the paid, individual reports you purchase from each bureau directly do include this information (these are the individual, not the combined reports). I have one of each in front of me right now and am reviewing them. Hope this helps.

Whenever a creditor does a soft pull on you, you feel a vague discomfort in the pit of your stomach. By contrast a hard pull is more a sharp, stabbing sensation. Make sure to watch out for these signs as they could indicate a change in your credit profile (or gas).
No, but yeah, it's on your credit report from the bureaus. You can see that data from your free annual credit report from one of the three bureaus, or you can purchase it as humuhumunukunukuapuaa mentioned.
I've never gotten a free combined report from all 3 at once. Good to know it would likely be truncated if I did. My system is to pull a single free report from a different CRA every four months, and these do show the soft pulls.

Are you requesting a CLI many times during the month. I know every time I've requested an increase there is a SP that shows us the day that I asked for said increase. So if you're requesting CLI's what you're probably seeing is the SP's from that. If you're not then I guess they are monitoring closely.
