When a mortgage broker shops around for a home loan and there are numerous inquiries on your credit report how long do they stay on your report?
While inquiries are displayed only 90 days on a typical credit report, they are factored into a consumer's credit score for 12 months for loans, 24 months for insurance purposes. Different scoring models also assess inquiries differently. Bureaus factor similar inquiries, like multiple mortgage companies or multiple auto financers, as ONE inquiry if those inquiries are performed within a certain period of time. There is also variation in how many points are deducted from the score for an inquiry. Consumers who have any public record items on their credit, like bankruptcy, foreclosure, tax liens or judgments, are hit harder for an inquiry than a consumer who has no public records showing.
How often should you re-apply for credit?
Inquiries remain on your credit history for 2 years, and will affect your scores and ability to attain credit. Mortgage and Car loan inquires are a little different: the bureaus allow for "shopping time" so that multiple inquiries of this type of credit only count as one as long as they are within the same 30 day period. Usually when you are declined credit, they give you specific reasons for the decline. Fix the reasons before re-applying, otherwise, you will just be shooting yourself in the foot with added inquiries.
