Credit Refresh (Soft)

Stay informed of credit changes from application to closing with soft-pull refresh reports that don’t affect credit scores.

Monitor Credit Changes Without Impacting Borrower Scores

Credit profiles can change significantly during the loan process. SettlementOne’s Refresh Credit reports use soft-pull technology to monitor borrower credit without the score impact of additional hard inquiries. This allows you to track important changes, verify continued qualification, and identify new obligations without negatively affecting your borrowers.

Regular refresh reports have become an essential tool for managing pipeline risk, especially for loans with extended processing times or when market conditions require extra vigilance about borrower credit stability.

Key Features

  • No Score Impact: Soft-pull technology preserves borrower credit scores
  • Complete Updates: Full credit data refresh, not just new accounts
  • Flexible Timing: Pull refreshes whenever needed during processing
  • Change Highlighting: Clear identification of what’s changed since last pull
  • Automated Options: Schedule periodic refreshes for longer processes
  • Same-Day Service: Quick turnaround for time-sensitive decisions

How It Works

Refresh Credit reports pull current credit data using soft-inquiry methods that don’t appear on borrower credit reports or impact scores. The system compares new data to previous pulls, highlighting any material changes in accounts, balances, or credit utilization that might affect loan qualification.

Monitor credit during lengthy underwriting or construction loan processes.

Pre-Closing Verification:

Final credit check before funding without score impact.

Pipeline Management:
