It is hard to be dignified when you&#8217;re applying.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the credit patterns I observe. I recommend that you pattern iterate and pattern replicate your way to better FICO credit score.<\/p>\n<p>If you are applying for credit, then you and your social security number gets pinged for  an INQ. This is a credit INQ and it slightly dings your credit. INQ is credit inquiry.<\/p>\n<p> You wanna fax your credit report &#8212; especially if you&#8217;re applying for credit as a corporation<\/p>\n<p> If you are applying for credit as a corporation, you are slightly dinged  even more when you do not have a fax machine. Companies with fax machines have  way more revenue that companies that use jFax, eFax or MyAssFax. <\/p>\n<p> When you&#8217;re applying for a personal car loan, you wanna fax or email your credit  report to all the people you want a loan from so that they all don&#8217;t  pull your credit report. You get bonus points for faxing your credit report for your work&#8217;s fax. By being at work using their fax you are basically confirming your employment too.<\/p>\n<p>Stop mentally arguing about the pattern I recognize. <\/p>\n<p>The credit world is a world based on laws that favor the use of paper and snail mail postage in the form of a US postage stamp. The rules of credit are written this way so your FICO score is protected via mail and postage (not email and world wide web)<\/p>\n<p>Read about inquiries by googling: Larry Chiang credit hacks inquiries.<\/p>\n<p>This is me:<\/p>\n<p>Larry Chiang<br \/> CEO, Duck9<br \/> Stanford University&#8217;s Entrepreneur in Residence<\/p>\n<p>Duck9 = Deep Underground Credit Knowledge 9<br \/> https:\/\/www.duck9.com\/blog<br \/> 125 University Ave Suite 100<br \/> Palo Alto CA 94301<br \/> 650-566-9600<\/p>\n<p>****************<br \/> Editor of the BusinessWeek Channel &#8220;What They Don&#8217;t Teach at Business School<br \/> https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/blog<br \/> ***************<br \/> NY Times Bestselling Author<br \/> &#8220;What They Don&#8217;t Teach at Stanford Business School&#8221; https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.com\/<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.Twitter.com\/LarryChiang<\/p>\n<p>650-566-9696 (direct)<br \/> 650-566-9600<br \/> 650-283-8008 (cell)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"20\" width=\"271\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"382\"><strong><strong><strong>If you liked this\u2026<br \/> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><strong><strong><strong> <\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/What-Teach-Harvard-Business-School\/dp\/0553345834\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"default\" src=\"https:\/\/whattheydontteachyouatstanfordbusinessschool.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/12\/mark-mccormack.jpg\" alt=\"default\" width=\"180\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twurl.nl\/237lia\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/> <\/a>Larry\u2019s mentor Mark McCormack wrote this in 1983.<\/strong><strong> His own book came out 09-09-09.
