Wow, good question, and I simply don't know.
Although I would have to think that even if it were, it would be OK. If they said that they needed a 740, and their inq dropped the score even as they pulled, that would be factored in. Hmmm, a chicken and egg question!
Anyone? The inq isn't reflected in the score that the creditor is looking at, is it?
