Is it possible to have too many credit inquiries showing on your report and, if so, can you have them removed?
The inquiry section contains a list of businesses that have received your credit report within the past 24 months. This can look bad to a potential Creditor. They may believe that you’ve received these lines of credit and the accounts have just not appeared on your credit reports yet. If they believe that you have overextended yourself, you can find yourself being denied credit, due to the inquiries.
I’ve never had this occur (which doesn’t mean it can’t). Be careful when soliciting credit lines. If you’re interested in buying a new car, don’t let every dealership in town request your credit report. Shop around, settle on the car you’re interested in, and THEN let them run your credit. Treat your credit report as a very special, private thing that is NOT meant to be seen by everyone in the world! Practice safe-crediting! smile
Most potential Creditors disregard inquiries over 6 months old, since by that time, the account should have appeared on your report, if you really did receive the credit.

You know you’re in trouble when you turn on the cold water faucet and what comes out is hot water for the first three or four minutes. Its supposed to be 102F here today. That’s pretty hot. And I have two cats. Complete with fur. How do they stay cool in the summer? We always hear how someone left a dog in a car and they had a heat stroke but what about our cats?
What do beans and left over salad have in common? Both can be tossed into a burrito for a cheap, filling meal.
Plasma donation. I does it.
Saving money as a single can be difficult. You’d think it wouldn’t be, since there is only one of you, but cooking for one can be more expensive and time intensive. And when you’re busy and tired you don’t want to spare that extra time. You end up living on prepared foods and take out. After all, who wants to cook for one? So how to save money in the biggest money waster: food?
There’s snow on the mountain tops where I live already. Its getting too cold to wear sandals and I need a sweater. The dark will soon do me in. Its winter and these are all normal things, and for me and many people like me, so is the depression that will set in soon. The winter blues.
