How to Remove Credco/Quicken From Your Credit Report

Is Credco/Quicken hurting your credit score?

Credit Saint has successfully assisted countless clients in removing inaccurate and questionable credit inquiries from their credit reports.

If you’ve come across “Credco/Quicken” on your credit report, you’re probably wondering what it means—and how to remove it if it doesn’t belong there. Here’s what you need to know.

What Credco/Quicken Means on Your Credit Report

Credco/Quicken refers to CoreLogic Credco and Quicken Loans (now Rocket Mortgage). CoreLogic Credco supplies credit data to lenders. When you apply for a mortgage through Quicken Loans, they often use Credco to pull your credit report.

That inquiry then shows up on your credit report as a hard inquiry.

Why Credco/Quicken Appears on Your Credit Report

If you see this entry, it’s usually because you applied for a mortgage with Quicken Loans. They use CoreLogic Credco to access a merged credit report, which results in a hard inquiry with the credit bureaus.

This happens even if your application wasn’t approved or you didn’t complete the loan process.

How a Hard Inquiry Affects Your Credit Score

A hard inquiry can lower your credit score by a few points. One inquiry doesn’t make a big difference, but several in a short period can start to hurt. Too many recent inquiries might make lenders think you’re financially stretched.

How Long Credco/Quicken Stays on Your Credit Report

Hard inquiries stay on your credit report for up to two years. While their impact on your credit score fades much sooner—typically after a few months—they remain visible to lenders for the full two-year period.

What to Do If You Didn’t Authorize the Inquiry

If you didn’t apply for a mortgage through Quicken Loans and don’t recognize the Credco/Quicken entry, take action:

  • Contact CoreLogic Credco and ask them to verify the inquiry.
  • If they can’t confirm it was legitimate, file a dispute with the credit bureaus.
  • Include any documentation that supports your case.

Unauthorized or incorrect hard inquiries can be removed.
