I got inquiries from the same dealership I was trying to finance an Audi through. Is this normal? I expected 1 inquiry but 4 or 5? Is this normal?
Also after filling out info at dealership, next day I got black market alerts on myfico.
Any insight?
Totally normal. Dealers routinely run your credit through half a dozen lenders (sometimes more than that) to find the best deal/terms.
Since these are auto lending inquiries, they will not score as 5 HP - they will score together as 1, even though all 5 will show up on your reports.
thank you ![]()
WE bought a truck in April the dealer did 5 pulls and they ARE on my transunion, I have called and they say I have to go direct and that it should only be listed as one but it's listed at 5, I just checked again today and they are all there. My numbers dropped and one of the reasons is too many inquires. Do you have any ideas how I can get these off? Thanks so much,
All the inqs show because they are supposed to show.
What happens with your score is that they are coded as one inq - but only if they are auto inqs. Some auto dealerships don't code correctly.
A year ago this August I bought a new car and there were twelve, yes twelve, hard pulls across two credit bureaus. I will never do that again. Next car purchase I will go in with my financing in hand.

As mentioned before, they will all show. They should show, as they were made - but they should be coded "auto lending" and therefore should only have the net effect of 1 hard pull (for all of them combined) when FICO scores you. The key is that they were coded properly.
If you pull a full report, you can see what each is coded as. For the ones that are coded improperly, you can dispute it to have it coded correctly. Not sure what else is going on in your credit life, but if 5 pulls, where I'm sure at least a few of them are coded as "auto lending" pulls already, has a great effect on your score, there must be many, many more pulls on your reports in the last year. I have 27-31 on each of my reports, and am not losing any points for it on any of them. (I bought a car in March, and got over two dozen pulls in the process).
