Siren Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 I tried doing a search but can't find what I'm looking for.Does anyone know the codes that are used by the big three regarding INQ?I know that PRM stands for promotional (soft), but aside from that I'm clueless. Thanks.~Ren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
md Posted August 1, 2003 Report Share Posted August 1, 2003 You will find this key at the bottom of the inquiries at EQ. The others have explanations too I believe. THE FOLLOWING INQUIRIES ARE NOT REPORTED TO BUSINESSES:PRM - This is a promotional inquiry in which only your name and address were given to a credit grantor so you could be solicited you with an offer such as a credit card. (PRM inquiries remain on file for 12 months.)AM or AR - These inquiries indicate a periodic review of your credit history by one of your creditors (AM and AR inquiries remain on file for 12 months.)EQUIFAX, ACIS or UPDATE - These inquiries indicate Equifax's activity in response to your contact with us for either a copy of your credit file or a request for research.PRM, AM, AR, INQ, EQUIFAX, ACIS and UPDATE inquiries do not show on credit files that businesses receive, only on copies provided to you.
