What is MABT CONTFIN?
MABT/CONTFIN is a credit report code that stands for Mid America Bank & Trust/Continental Finance.
MABT CONTFIN may be on your credit report as a hard inquiry. This usually happens when you apply for financing or a credit card.
The Impact of Hard Inquiries on Your Credit Score
When you apply for financing or a credit card, the lender will typically perform a hard inquiry on your credit report. This hard inquiry is noted on your report and can temporarily lower your credit score by a few points.
While a single hard inquiry won’t have a significant impact on your credit score, accumulating multiple hard inquiries within a short period can lead to a more substantial drop in your score.
How long do hard inquiries stay on your credit report?
Hard inquiries remain on your credit report for up to two years. They are recorded by the three major credit reporting agencies: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. After two years, the hard inquiry will no longer impact your credit score and will be removed from your credit report.
