1. It will NOT help your score. You are aware that your credit score can change daily or even several times a day? So if you need exactly 30 points you need to shoot for 50-100 so pulling the report and dy to day activities do not still bring you below the 30 you need. Good luck.
2. Opt out does not effect your credit scores. Keep credit cards open even if there is no balance, and keep the balance under 50% of the credit limits. Below is the FTC website that has the consumers rights under the fair credit reporting act. Hope it helps
