There are 2 types of credit "hits". A hard credit check in which the"loan" company inquires about you to all the 3 major bureau"s . This type of credit check takes away 4 points or so ( points that take months to get back if you always pay existing loans or cards on time ). A "hard" check is necessary when applying for personal loans, mortages, major credit cards ect. A "soft" hit tkes away 2 or 3 points. A retail store credit card, a gas station card , a cell phone account, ect ect. I also found out that NOT applying for any credit ups your score by a few points every quarter.( hey; you don"t even have to do anything). If you don"t pay your existing cards on time that negatively affects your score by a few points. I do know for sure that if you want any kind of a personal loan in the future with a decent interest rate, you must have the "points" to back you up. Anything less than 600 and you will be paying a "loanshark" for years. (this is true for Canada)

Yes, a dealership can run your credit multiple times during the car buying process to check for loan approval and interest rates. Each credit inquiry may affect your credit score slightly.
Of course it is! Each inquiry is worth 1-3 points and if a creditor is refusing to investigate it, that probably means they have no way to verify it and they know it impacts your score, so when the bureaus delete them...VIOLA! Your score just jumped upto 100 points possibly! Try it, dispute the inquiries that you did not authorize, it may take you 3-4 times of sending in disputes, this is a delay tactic from the credit bureaus. Dont give up! After all, creditors seem to think they have Carte Blanche of your credit file, and this is your file and you are entitled to have accurate information on them!

There are two types of inquiries. Soft pulls and hard pulls. Soft pulls are when you look at your own credit. They don't get counted as far as your credit score. However hard pulls are when you apply for credit. This can effect your score 2 - 5 point for each inquiry.
