Soft Credit Inquiry. A soft inquiry, or soft pull, is a term used to refer to an inquiry into your credit history that does not adversely affect the credit score. Often, you are not even aware that there has been a soft inquiry on your credit report.
1 Soft inquiries do show up in a special section of your credit report that the credit bureaus only release to you.  Hard inquiries do affect your credit rating. Theyâre visible to lenders who pull your credit report, and they generally stay on your credit report for two years.
