What is a credit report?
Before a potential lender will approve or decline a credit application based on their finding from your credit report. A credit report is a summary of how you manage and pay your credit accounts. A credit bureau creates your report based on a few factors, such as the payment history of accounts and information reported by lenders and creditors. This report is not impervious to errors though and can occasionally unfairly reflect the nature of your payment history. Keeping a watchful eye on your credit report ensures that it reflects your payment history accurately and does not stand in your way of life-changing financial aid. 

Why is your credit report important?
This important document is essentially the ticket that allows you to apply for a certain amount of credit, at preferential terms. When your report reflects poor repayment history, the terms that are offered to you for credit are often less than favorable, so keeping a close eye on these reports and ensuring that the information is positive and accurately reflected is essential. 

The two kinds of credit inquiries 
There are two kinds of credit inquiries that can be conducted on your report. The first is a “soft” inquiry. Soft inquiries are done for a few reasons. The first is when you conduct a review of your credit report yourself. Other reasons that a soft inquiry may occur include when a company preapproves you for credit or insurance or when a debtor conducts an account review. A soft inquiry will not adversely affect your overall credit score. The second is a “hard” inquiry. These occur when a credit company (or other lenders or accounts) review your credit report to determine whether they should grant you credit (or an account). Hard inquiries can remain on your credit report for years and can hurt your report, which is why you should ensure that no one is performing these inquiries without your consent.
