<prompt> Human: Last year, I rented my current house and as part of my rental process I signed to allow a rentaltenant history inquiry. Well apparently she asked a friend who is a mortgage lender a bank to pull a report for her. It was pulled as a full mortgage credit report and appears on my credit report as a mortgage inquiry for which I did not receive credit.I am currently in the process of actually obtaining a mortgage and was pre-approved but my banker asked about the inquiry as he thought it was odd that I wasnt approved then. I explained that the only thing that would have been pulled at that time was a rental inquiry and he said that it specifically says it is a mortgage for which I did not receive credit.I appealed it with the company they used CBC Innovis and just received a letter that the bank responded and confirmed that I called and asked for a mortgage on the date it was pulled. My landlord called me and seemed panicked when the bank was questioned and she told me she would ask her friend at the bank to change the status to rental inquiry for which I was approved. This obviously did not happen and Im guessing her friend broke company policy for the favor and is lying to cover it up.What can I do?  <response>: Hard pulls stop affecting your credit score after one year though they are listed for two years. It sounds like youre not having a problem getting a mortgage now. It also sounds like youve successfully scared the shit out of the landlord and her friend so they wont do it again. So, Id just move on at this point.
