Find an Attorney and Drive Up Your Credit Score
This article is definitely false. I purposely signed up for this blog just to dispute this mis-information. There is a difference between a soft-inquiry or soft pull and a hard pull. A soft pull is one done by you or is one done by.

When you view your credit reports now a days (directly from the bureaus), you even see that there are 2 different sections. One for the inquiries that others see (hard pull) and another section for soft pulls that shows pulls that you initiate (not shown to other bureaus). I have like 100 in that section sometimes because I pull my credit report with 2-3 different monitoring services almost everyday (i have to keep up with my credit report for what I'm doing). CreditCheckTotal.com, TrueCredit.com, are some examples ChaseIDProtection.com used to, but now they limit it to once every 90 days. So I canceled them.

I learned a bunch of real tips and tricks for improving credit score from a company called CreditCardBuilders.com . Ask for Ari Page and say that one of his clients, Josh G. sent you. You might get a discount. You can contact me though one of my sites, 123collegedegree.com if you need more info.
