Inquiries make up 10% of your FICO score π
Letβs break it down in plain terms π
An inquiry is simply a record of someone pulling your credit ποΈ
There are two types π
πΉ Soft Inquiries β do NOT affect your score. Pre-approvals, background checks, checking your own credit β
πΉ Hard Inquiries β DO affect your score. These happen when you apply for credit β cards, loans, financing, etc π
Hard inquiries stay on your report for 2 years but only impact your score for 12 months β³
Hereβs how to keep this section from working against you π
βοΈ Donβt apply for credit you donβt need π«
βοΈ Donβt let multiple lenders pull your credit without a clear purpose π
βοΈ If youβre rate shopping for a mortgage or auto loan β do it within a short window so multiple pulls count as ONE inquiry π π
βοΈ Monitor your report regularly so unauthorized inquiries arenβt sitting there unnoticed ποΈ
And if you have inquiries that shouldnβt be there β they can be disputed π
Our DIY Full Challenge System includes inquiry dispute templates that show you exactly how to use the letter AND what violations can be used to have them deleted πͺπ½π―

Letβs break down credit age and why it matters for your score π
Credit age makes up 15% of your FICO score and it measures two things π
1οΈβ£ The age of your OLDEST account
2οΈβ£ The AVERAGE age of ALL your accounts combined
The longer your accounts stay open the more they work in your favor π³
This is why keeping old accounts open β even ones you rarely use β is a smart move π§
Hereβs a tip we give our clients π
If you have a high balance on a cardβ¦ pay it down π
But once itβs paid down DO NOT go back to overspending on it π«
Instead β set a small recurring subscription on that card π± Think Netflix, Spotify, something small and manageable
Then put the card away ποΈ
This does three things β
βοΈ Keeps the account open and active
βοΈ Shows responsible usage to the bureaus
βοΈ Protects your credit age over time
Low balance. On time payments. Account stays open. Your score reflects it. π
Thatβs how you make credit age work FOR you π―

Credit Utilization is responsible for 30% of your FICO score and itβs one of the fastest things you can change to see results ππ³
Hereβs exactly how it works ππΎ
Every month your credit card balances are being reported to the bureaus ποΈ The higher those balances sit relative to your limit the more damage itβs doing to your score ππ¨
The sweet spot is staying BELOW 30% of your total credit limit at all times π
Rebuilding your credit? Drop that number down to 10% or less πβ
Letβs put real numbers to it ππΎ
π³ $200 Limit β Max balance $60 | Rebuilding: $20
π³ $500 Limit β Max balance $150 | Rebuilding: $50
π³ $1,000 Limit β Max balance $300 | Rebuilding: $100
Hereβs what most people donβt realize π¬π
You can have zero late payments, zero collections, and STILL be losing points every single month because your balances are too high π₯΄π
The bureaus treat high utilization as a red flag. It signals risk. And lenders pay attention to that. π¦β οΈ
The fix is straightforward β bring those balances down and keep them there πͺπΎπ₯

Do you actually know whatβs building β or breaking β your credit score? ππ₯
Most people are out here guessing. Let us break it down real quick πβ¬οΈ
π 35% β Payment History
Late payments are NOT playing with you. One missed payment = up to 100 point drop. Open accounts, closed accounts β all of it counts. Stay on time. ππ
π 30% β Credit Utilization
Your credit cards are worth 30% of your score. Maxed out cards are silently wrecking your profile every single month. π¬π³
π 15% β Credit Age
Every time you close an account or open a new one, your average age changes. Slow down before you make moves that cost you points. β³
π 10% β Inquiries
Hard pulls ding your score 1-5 points and hang around for 2 years. They stop affecting your score after 12 months though. Soft pulls? Totally fine. β
π 10% β Credit Mix
Lenders want to see that you can handle different types of credit. Cards, short term loans, long term loans β variety builds trust with lenders. π¦
