So, it will still cost you money to get your score. To get your FICO score directly, go to myfico.com.

There are a number of different credit scores. Since you did not indicate what credit score you are referring to I am assuming you are referencing your FICO score. You have 3 FICO scores, 1 for each of the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and Trans Union). The score measures the likihood you will repay your debt. You can help increase your score by paying on time and reducing your debt. The score is also used by lenders for loan decisions and interest rate assignment. The FICO score ranges from 300 to 850. The minimum FICO score lenders like to see is 723. The national average is about 678.

Yes and no. FICO will make adjustments to your score when you shop for credit, which is what an inquiry indicates. How much this will affect your score depends on your credit history. Someone who does not often shop for credit may only be reduced a point or two, or maybe even see no reduction at all. Someone who already represents some form of credit risk may see a bigger decline in the score. With that said, according to FICO (www.myfico.com) multiple mortgage inquiries within a 14 day timeframe will count as one inquiry as far as it affects your score. They expect you to shop offers, just make sure you do it within the timeframe. The inquiries will still appear on your report, they just won't continue to hurt your score. On a side note, self inquiries do not affect your score.
No. Neither requesting, nor receiving, a home loan modification of your mortgage will have any impact whatsoever on your FICO, or credit score. Making payments on time affects your credit score. See more:
