I knew that was nonsense. It still is working. Equifax knows what is happening and if they wanted to stop it they would have 3 months ago. I don't think it is going anywhere.
I am pulling my CW every day. If I understand this right after 45 days of pulling, a hard should drop off. Right? I do see 2 soft inquiries every day being added. 1 for the report and 1 for the score just as LKH said I would. I did not see any additional soft inquiries when I pulled more than once per day.
I just checked, mine are at 119. And the 3 hard are still there. I guess, I will give it a couple of more weeks... (or else....? as if I have any choice)
