<prompt> Human: About two months ago my wife and I applied for a new apartment. We were accepted and got tied up dealing with new jobs and a cross-country move, so I didnt get around to doing my usual credit monitoring until now. I just noticed that there are two hard pulls on my credit report from our application, one on the date we applied and one from two days later. Ill have my wife check her score when she gets home, but Id imagine it will show the same thing.Is there any way to get the extra pull removed? Im not sure if I should talk to the credit agencies or to my apartment manager. Even if I do bring it up to the manager, would he be able to change one to a soft pull retroactively? One additional hard pull isnt too much in the grand scheme of things, but we are only planning on staying here for a year while we shop for a house and want to have our credit scores as clean as possible for the mortgage application. Per the Wiki, it looks like the extra pull will affect our FICO score for the next 12 months and will stay on for 24 months total.  <response>: The credit scoring merges them, dont worry about it
