When you check the status of an investigation online with Experian, does it count as an inquiry (hard or soft) on your report?
If you go directly through www.experian.com , then no it is not any type of inquiry. If you check through creditexpert, then it is a soft inquiry. BTW, when you check your own report, it is never a hard inq.
nothing ever came up as "in dispute" on mine. They said pending up until they were either deleted or "verified."
