- your credit score can be lowerd every time you ckeck your score.
- not sure of the number of points, but your score will go down noticebly. one suggestion...wait 1-2 months and dispute the inquiries through the credit bureaus, chances are you could have at least some of them removed. not all credit providers keep applications on file for over 30 days if applicants are not approved and thus would have no way of showing proof if you dispute.....just a thought.
- you can check your credit score for free by logging onto expiran the credit reference agency...they show you what the credit companies see when you apply for credit.
- 9 is quite a few which according to myfico means you're fishing for credit and not getting any.. you might get dinged up to 20 pts total, but not much more than that. one thing that has really helped me with watching my score is to track my credit score and get alerts whenever there are changes. you can try it free on myfico its pretty cool. since i want to buy a house soon i've used it for a year now. check it out
