Inquiry effect on CS

Another data point for those figuring out the FICO formulas:

 

Previous CS = 811  zero inquiries affecting score

 

1 inq for Home Equity Line of Credit

 

No change in CS after FICO SW alert for new inq.   Nice!

 

I expected a couple of point drop in CS.   I give up trying to figure FICO out. 

 

That's probably what they want. Smiley Happy

Re: Inquiry effect on CS

Your zodiac sign, as well as your favorite color have a lot to do with it too.

Re: Inquiry effect on CS

Surprising!

Higher scores are usually affected by inquiires more than iower scores....

Are you sure it was a hard pull?

Re: Inquiry effect on CS

Yeah, I'm sure it was a hard pull. 

 

Both my BOFA monitoring service and FICO sent me notifications on the change in my credit report.

 

But Scorewatch noted that the score was unchanged.

 

I'm a little confused about it, but it's cool that my score didn't drop.
