I just got an alert from TransUnion because Sears/Citi did an inquiry.   I did not request a CLI.

However, I did do a couple things yesterday -

1 – paid my balance in full

2- requested a replacement card

Could either of those reasons have caused it?

Going to stick it in the sock drawer for now.  i had cut up most of my cards a few months back so i wouldnt be tempted to use them until they were all PIF. I had been carrying month to month balances for the last 18 months or so. NEVER AGAIN!

Also, is this inq a hard pull since I got an alert on it?  Alert is not from scorewatch although I subscribe to that as well.  This is from FAKO – truecredit.  I use them as well so I can pull my reports daily.  I’m OCD with my credit scores right now as I have taken a huge hit due to special forbearance/loan modification process. Hopefully that will get resolved soon too. I am in review this week to get switched from an inhouse special forbearance to a perm modification.

On the positive side, as of today I am debt free minus my mortgage and car loan.  Doing a major happy dance. Worked very hard to get to this day!!!!:smileyvery-happy:
