Who does Prosper pull?

[Anonymous]

Any one know who Prosper pulls? Am considering a loan with them and wondering due to number of inquiries on my reeports. Tu has the fewest inq's at  6 but 4 are from Jan and one from Dec.

A Prosper credit grade is a letter grade that Prosper assigns you based on your credit score, for use solely in the Prosper marketplace. Prosper obtains your Experian Scorex PLUSSM credit score from your credit report, and assigns one of seven credit grades.

When you create a listing on Prosper, Prosper will contact Experian, our credit reporting partner, and retrieve your credit score and report. If your most recent credit pull is more than 30 days old, Prosper will pull a fresh credit score and report from Experian.

Just remember....it reports as a FINANCE loan.

I do know for a fact that Propser will only pull EX when you list your loan. 12 inqs will make a lot of lenders very nervous. Currently, Propser reports loans to EX and TU only. In the future, they will be reporting to EQ as well.

Is that a bad thing? Or is it just because it doesn't give as much of a boost to your credit score as a credit card?

For the record, Prosper will do a soft inquiry when you create your borrower account and then again when you post a new loan request. They do NOT pull a hard inquiry until your loan has been FUNDED and ACCEPTED. If your loan request fails, you will not see a hard pull. I just had this happen.

Yup! I should have spent more time explaining this just as you have.
