No. Information about the following types of inquiries made to your credit report are only released to you, not to potential lenders: 1. inquiries you make 2. inquiries made by companies for promotional reasons (e.g. "pre-approved" credit card offers) 3. inquiries made by current creditors for the purpose of an account review It depends on how, (or where) you request your credit. If you get the raw bureau data, from the credit repositories themselves, like Equifax, Experian, TransUnion and Innovis, that would NOT impact your credit score. Going to a vendor, even through the bureaus own websites, like those 3-in-1 plus+ score reports, will cause a hard inquiry to be generated and CAN cause a deduction to your score. Be certain where you are getting your credit information before you make a request. Controling and limiting credit inquiries are an important component to raising your credit scores.
