Does Checking My Credit Hurt my Credit Score?

Does checking my credit report count as an inquiry and hurt my credit score?

The quick answer is, NO. Checking your own credit report will not lower your credit score or count as a hard inquiry on your credit report. You can check your own credit as much as you want. Learn more:

I don't believe you checking your score does, but when creditors run your score, it does.

Yes, that is correct. Anytime you apply for credit, it will count as an inquiry against you.
