What is a Soft Credit Check | Better

Описание: A soft credit check is one of the first things a lender will do to check your credit score when you’re applying for a mortgage.. To do this we perform a soft credit check, aka a soft inquiry. See how they’re different from a hard credit check, and how your score can impact your rate quote and loan options.

You can do a secure soft credit check at any time to learn what your current credit score is. When a lender performs a soft credit check they’ll ask for your social security number to request your credit score from a credit reporting agency. (Better Mortgage uses your FICO Classic 04 credit score from Transunion.) Your credit score gives lenders a precise monthly debt calculation and helps them calculate a more precise number for what you can borrow. In many cases knowing your credit score helps lenders discuss your financing options with you.

Soft credit checks don’t impact your credit score in any way because (from the credit reporting agency’s perspective) they’re not attached to any particular application for credit. Soft credit inquiries can typically be completed without requiring any additional documentation to verify your financial situation.
