The above reply is correct if you are checking your report. It is incorrect if you are asking about others checking your credit report.

How often you have attempted to use credit can lower your credit score. You need to be careful of applying for credit or a mortgage over the internet. Many of these are just "lead factories" who will sell your information to numerous companies.

If there are an abnormal number of requests then it is possible that your credit score will be lower. For an in depth discussion of your credit score see

Does having a checking account improve your credit score?

No, a checking account is not correlated to your credit score. The only reason why you have to give your social security # is to prove that you have no outstanding debt with any other banks. ______________________________________ Actually, there is a correlation. Having a checking account doesn't improve your credit score, but you can be accepted or denied an account based on it. If you have bad credit, or no credit, you may be denied from a variety of bank checking accounts. I was told by my lawyer it does improve your credit if you keep your checking account in good standings he said the bank report it monthly to the crdit bureaus thats just what i was told


Does having a joint checking account with someone with bad credit affect your credit?

Their credit is not reported on yours unless they mess up the checking account itself. If they bounce a check or start getting a lot of NSF's that will be on both of you. But their previous credit cannot affect yours. First, I would like to explain to you the difference between having bad credit, and having a bad report on ChexSystems. Banks and credit unions usually report people to Chexsystems regarding delinquent bank accounts. Financial companies and lenders report people to the 3 major credit bureaus regarding delinquent accounts. So, with that said, having a joint checking account with someone with bad credit does not affect your credit. If that person goes into delinquent status with the checking account and the bank reports him or her to Chexsystems or some other check verification company, then yes your name and social security will be reported as well. Your report will stay on Chexsystems for at least 5 years, unless you have it removed by some means. There are many banks that offer promotions for checking accounts for people with negative markings on their chexsystems report. A free consumer organization called "InfoAviator" has a pretty large list of them at infoaviator.org/finance/checking-accounts/2014/05/28/how-to-open-a-second-chance-checking/


How accurate are online credit reports?

Online Credit Reports are extremely accurate if they are obtained from on of the 3 major credit reporting bureaus. Be careful that you don't get scammed by checking your report through a company that is not affiliated with the 3 Credit Bureaus.

What is the impact of a foreclosure on your credit score?

Foreclosure and FICO The total impact of a foreclosure on ones credit report is estimated to be between 200-300 points. The foreclosure itself accounts for 125 -175 points and the late payments that led up to the foreclosure account for the remaining point deductions. Ironically, the higher your score was to start with the more points will generally be deducted. After several years (2-3) your credit score will have rebounded substantially as long as other payments are maintained. You can expect anywhere from a 50-100 points penalty remaining on the report at this point.
