Inquiries are notations on your credit report that indicate when someone has checked your credit file. Only the âhardâ inquiries associated with an application for a new financial obligation, such as a loan or credit card, impact your credit score. A single inquiry typically costs very few points to the score. The Bankrate feature, âHow credit inquiries affect credit scoreâ goes into more detail on the subject.
