An inquiry indicates when a business, usually a lender, has checked your credit. The inquiries listed here are the number of times in the 12 months since the date of this report that a lender has checked your credit at Equifax. These inquiries appear because you applied for credit with the listed company. Inquiries associated with applying for new credit are the only kind of inquiry that may hurt your FICO® score.
Inquiries not considered by the FICO® score are not listed here, such as inquiries that result from obtaining your own credit reports and FICO® scores.
