Will the inquiry about my credit affect my credit score?

An abundance of credit inquiries can sometimes affect your credit scores since it may indicate your use of credit is increasing.

However, the data used to calculate your credit score does not include any mortgage or auto loan credit inquiries made within the 30 days prior to the score being calculated. In addition, all mortgage inquiries made in any 14-day period are always considered one inquiry. You should not limit your mortgage shopping for fear of the effect on your credit score.
