Does LendingTree and/or each Lender pull my credit report?
LendingTree pulls your credit report when you complete a loan request. LendingTree’s inquiry does not count towards your credit score nor does it show up on your credit report to anyone but you. Each Lender has their own policy about pulling your credit. Some may pull your credit before they make you a loan offer; others may pull your credit after you have accepted their offer. In all cases, LendingTree pulls your credit report when you complete a loan request. Presently Fair Isaac Corporation (the company that provides “FICO” credit scores) provides that for mortgage or auto loans it disregards those inquiries made in the prior 30 days. All inquiries on your credit report within a 14-day period will count as one inquiry if you are looking for a mortgage to purchase a home, a mortgage to refinance your home, a home equity loan or line of credit or an auto loan. If you are looking for a personal loan or credit card, however, each inquiry will be counted as a separate inquiry.
