    Several months ago, I purchased my cr directly from TU. I bought another report the other day just to see if anything had changed. I found an inq from "TU Consumer Relations" listed as having been pulled on the same date as the first cr report I bought. It was listed in the "Regular Inquiry Section", with the following parenthetical (NOTE: TransUnion consumer disclosure inquiries are not viewed by creditors). Then why don't they put it under the AR Inquiry Section?

    Things aren't bad enough, now I'm actually paying money to a company to lower my score?

    Thanks.

    What makes you think those inquiries lower your score? As far as I know, they don't. You will have a TU disclosure, or what ever they call it, every time you pull your report. Just like you get with Exp and Equ.

    That confused me too. Despite those inquiries being in the hard inquiries section, they don't get shown to creditors. I looked at my TU report at a car dealership and there was none listed. So they aren't lying about that.
    I just wish they'd list them in the soft inquiries section where they belong.

    Any time YOU pull your own credit report...it CAN'T be a so-called "HARD"...

    Only when you APPLY for a credit card or loan can they do a "HARD"...

    EXCEPT FOR FARMERS INSURANCE...WHO GETS TO PULL A "HARD" TO SEE HOW I DRIVE...EVEN THOUGH I PAY BEFORE COVERAGE STARTS (NO LOAN OR CREDIT CARD WAS APPLIED FOR)!!!!!!!!!
