Does checking your own score lower it?
No — self-checks are soft inquiries and don't affect your score.
How often should you check your credit report?
At least once every few months, especially before applying for any loan.
Can a closed loan account still hurt your score?
Yes, if it wasn't marked "closed" correctly — this is one of the most common report errors.
Does having zero loans mean a perfect score?
No — no credit history often means no score at all, which can itself be a hurdle.
