Can checking my own credit score actually hurt the score itself? If I’ve paid in cash my whole life, not credit, and I have almost no debt—my credit score should be great, right?
Contrary to what you may have heard, the answer to both questions is: no, not necessarily.
There’s a lot of incomplete or even outright incorrect information about credit out there. As the old saying goes, “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing”, and a lot of self-declared credit experts—online or otherwise—have had a hand in further confusing an already multifaceted topic.
