What are the factors that damage 
your credit score?
No, when you check your credit score, it does not 
damage your credit score at all. You can visit 
various digital platforms to run a credit score 
check for absolutely no cost. This is a soft credit 
score check, which does not impact your credit 
score. A soft credit score check does not damage 
your score. It is important to understand that when 
you apply for a personal loan or any kind of quick 
business loan, loan providers run a hard inquiry. 
Your credit score will suffer as a result. A soft credit 
score check is not an inquiry on your credit profile. 
It is advisable to check your credit score before 
doing a business loan apply online in order to 
remain aware of your credit eligibility.

Keep credit accounts 
open
Delayed payments or missed payments are 
priority factors that damage your credit score. 
The easiest and most important way to 
improve your credit score is by making timely 
payments. Whether you pay your credit card 
bills in monthly instalments or not, you need to 
do it by the due date. Any difficulty with 
payment-related issues should be dealt with by 
the due date. If you delay any payment, it gets 
registered on your credit report and eventually 
dips your credit score by 100 points. Therefore, 
if you want to reduce the damage to your 
credit score, automate your payments.

Do not keep any outstanding or 
overdue payments
When you make payments for a credit card 
or loan instalments, make sure you pay the 
entire amount. You should not keep any 
outstanding or overdue amounts on your 
credit card bills. It is true that credit cards 
do offer a minimum balance payment 
option, but it damages your credit score. 
Therefore, always try to make a full bill 
payment without keeping any pending 
amount.
