Everything looks good on my credit record and the score reflects that but there is a flag indicating there have been 3 credit inquiries. I don't recall giving anyone permission to access my credit record. Can people go in and just snoop around which affects my credit score?

When you check your own credit report, that often counts as a soft inquiry. Your current creditors can do soft inquiries whenever they like, pretty much. Also if you've gotten any "pre-approved offers, those often start with a soft inquiry.

Have you signed up for any new utilites, cable tv, etc? Have you made any changes to insurance policies, or gotten new ones? Or applied for a job?

Have any existing credit cards, lines of credit, or loans, increased/decreased your credit limits, or changed the interest rates?

Ohjodi, I haven't made any changes or done anything. Oh well they will drop off and my score is still good so I won't worry about it.

My oldest account fell off the radar as it was 7 years old. I got a new credit card. My score went down almost thirty points even though my debt ration severely decreased!!@@ lol.
