Soft credit search

Hi,

New to all this and not sure which part to post in but QQ What information does a soft credit search show? Does it show all the same things that a hard one does?

Ie all the accounts you have and with who, name address, DOB, court information/defaults? Financial associates Or just the score?

Comments

  • Soft search is exactly the same as a hard search except one thing, with a soft seach there is no visible trace left on your credit file for other lender. Only you are able to see this.

    You can get a free copy of your credit file online from noodle.
