Free Credit Check Sites

When you go to the free sites and check your credit...
Will that bring your score down?

No and the rules have actually changed, so that credit inquiries no longer bring down your scores.

I was told that it does bring your score down by a mortgage broker. He said to be aware that going to lending tree and having multiple sources check into your credit drops it down a few points.

Just checking your credit as you are not entitled to yearly doesn't affect it.

Re: Free Credit Check Sites

Pulling your own credit NEVER drops your score as long as it is done through a service that provides reports directly to the borrower(myfico.com, privacyguard.com, any of the major 3 transunion, equifax or experian) Your score WILL DROP if someone pulls your credit for a mortgage, credit card, auto or any type of financing.

***Just checking your own credit as you are entitled to every year does not affect it.

Sorry that's what happens when I'm on the phone & typing...
