One of the biggest problems on my credit report is the amount of inquiries. The majority of them are my fault, because whenever I went shopping the cashiers are always offering: "would you like to apply for our card and save 10% on your purchase today?" and in the past, I never knew that your credit report being pulled up could knock quite a few points off your score. So foolishly, I said "yes" every time. Well, now with that knowledge, the past few months I have not applied for any cards nor other lines of credit in order to help raise my score and keep the number of inquiries down.
