Does it count as an inquiry every time that I look at my credit? When you look at your own credit report, it is called a consumer disclosure and classified as a "soft inquiry." Creditors and prospective credit grantors are not allowed to see it. Probably, the main reason for your concern is that multiple inquiries in a short period of time tend to lower your credit score. For example, if you apply for several different credit cards in a period of a few months, there's reason to believe you might be overextending yourself. Your own inquiries are not used in the score calculation.  Here's more about inquiries and your credit score.   5:02:45 PM     It has come to my attention that I have outstanding medical bills, and would like to pay them off,but i dont have a clue where to send the payments.. could you please email me back with the appropriate address to help me. Thank you. Your 3-bureau credit report is likely to show most everything you owe, or once owed. From the report, it is an easy matter to contact the companies.
