Yes and no. FICO will make adjustments to your score when you shop for credit, which is what an inquiry indicates. How much this will affect your score depends on your credit history. Someone who does not often shop for credit may only be reduced a point or two, or maybe even see no reduction at all. Someone who already represents some form of credit risk may see a bigger decline in the score. With that said, according to FICO (www.myfico.com) multiple mortgage inquiries within a 14 day timeframe will count as one inquiry as far as it affects your score. They expect you to shop offers, just make sure you do it within the timeframe. The inquiries will still appear on your report, they just won't continue to hurt your score. On a side note, self inquiries do not affect your score.

How does one do a credit history check?

One does a credit history check by running a credit report. There are three major credit bureaus which handle this, and the most complete history is obtained by running a report through all three. There are ways to do this for free at least once a year. Once the credit history report is run, then the report should be looked over and any mistakes, particularly ones which reflect badly on the creditor, should be corrected.

For a tri-merge credit report pulled from a credit bureau, inquires for only the last 90 days are reported. This shows potential creditors how much shopping for credit you've done over this period. Extensive inquiries can affect FICO scores (Fair Isaac & CO) know as credit scores. TaxMan/MortgageMan
