Are you sure they pulled again? My lender didn't. Some do.

I just got told my LO that they did a "refresh" - so there wouldn't be an alert for that.  Sorry!

If it's for a mortgage they wait 30 days before including them so they can count all the mortgage related inquiries as 1 for scoring purposes.

Hi kelli1970,

 

Just to clarify, while you're correct that the score doesn't count a mortgage inquiry for the first 30 days, and then treats multiple mortgage inquiries as one, the inquiries appear on the credit report immediately after being pulled.

I had my CU run our reports to get a loan - They used EQ.  NO SCOREWATCH ALERT TO THE INQUIRY.  Over 24 hours.

Booner,  I never got an alert to the inquiry for my Capital One card.  I used a score watch report to see it.

Toolie- It shouldn't happen that way.  I shouldn't have to use a SW report to see an inquiry alert.  This is not good.  TWO DAYS NOW!
