Cluster necessary comparison shopping

Avoid stretching one borrowing need across many months.

This does not erase inquiries

Lenders still review credit information.

Checking your own report is different

JCIC says self-inquiries do not enter the score model.

Prepare income and debt information first

Reduce blind applications.
