Credit scores

Why is it that merely by checking your credit score, it can be lowered, even slightly?
Imagine how stupid it would be that every time you checked your weight on a scale, you gained 5 lbs. What if every time you looked in the mirror, you got just a little bit uglier.

That is a myth. Checking your own credit score does not change it. I check mine monthly and it has zero impact on the numbers.

Your information that suggests it does is incorrect.
