1. yes..anytime you or another agency runs your name through the credit bureau-it adds some points to ur credit score..so dont do it alot
2. This is considered a "soft hit" and DOES NOT affect ones credit score. The only inquiries that hurt your score are the ones used to determine credit worthiness (i.e. you apply for credit or loans).
3. if YOU are checking your credit report it's considered a soft inquiry and you DO NOT lose any points You can check your report as often as you want/need You can get a 1 free credit report for all 3 agencys at: www.annualcreditreport.com You must pay for the credit scores
