How Elan Financial Services Hard Inquiries Impact Your Credit

When you apply for a credit card through Elan Financial Services, the lender performs a hard inquiry on your credit report. This process involves checking your creditworthiness, which can result in a slight dip in your credit score. While a single hard inquiry may only cause a small drop, having multiple hard inquiries in a short period can have a more significant impact, potentially making it harder to secure additional credit.

How Long Elan Financial Services Inquiries Stay on Your Credit Report

Regardless of whether your credit application is approved, the hard inquiry from Elan Financial Services will remain on your credit report for up to two years. These inquiries are recorded by all three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Over time, the impact of these inquiries diminishes, but they remain visible on your report for the full 24 months.

Handling Unauthorized Elan Financial Services Inquiries

If you come across an Elan Financial Services inquiry on your credit report that you don’t recognize, it’s important to take immediate action. Start by contacting Elan Financial Services to confirm the details of the inquiry. If it turns out to be unauthorized, you should dispute it with the credit bureaus to have it removed, protecting your credit score from potential harm.
