Ok...directly from one of my myfico reports in the inq section:
An inquiry indicates when a business, usually a lender, has checked your credit. The inquiries listed here are the number of times in the 12 months since the date of this report that a lender has checked your credit at Experian. These inquiries appear because you applied for credit with the listed company. Inquiries associated with applying for new credit are the only kind of inquiry that may hurt your FICO® score.
Those "hard" inq's must be initiated by you...otherwise, it's illegal an you can have them removed!
Are you sure all those aren't in the "soft" inq section?
BK 7 discharge 06.24.2020 No Fico score at all.
