How long should a credit inquiry stay on my credit report???
Credit inquiries stay on your record for 7 years. All credit inquiries are not bad. They only start affecting you if you have multiple in a short period of time. You should check them occasionally to ensure that there is nothing incorrect in it.

Inquiries stay on for two years. The thing is with inquiries is most of the time you can%26#039;t control who is looking up your credit. Multiple inquiries doesn%26#039;t effect your credit tremendously, so I wouldn%26#039;t worry about it. Just try to pay all your bills on time.

Inquiries can stay on your credit report for as much as two years if you don%26#039;t take measures to have them removed. There are two kinds of inquiries. There are inquiries that affect your credit score and those that don%26#039;t (the so-called %26quot;soft hits%26quot;).
Soft hits you really don%26#039;t have to worry about as they theoretically don%26#039;t affect your score.
As to those inquiries that do affect your score, each one can cost your credit score anywhere from four to 10 points each. That is why it is important to make sure you don%26#039;t let too many companies look into your credit history.
The credit bureaus have said they are taking measures to minimize the impact of inquiries on your credit report. For example, if you are shopping around for a mortgage and have many mortgage companies pulling your credit reports, these are %26quot;supposed%26quot; to count as one hit versus several. However, it should be noted that you cannot trust anything the credit bureaus say. Like bill collectors, you can pretty much be sure if they are talking, they are lying to serve their own interests.
Hope this helps you understand inquiries better.
