Inquiry question

[Anonymous]

I am trying to clean up my inquiries and I noticed that I have several (about 15) hard inquiries from late September and early October.  We bought a car about that time.  I have heard that these inquiries should only hit my score once since we were shopping for a car loan?  How do I know if this is the case?

You'll have to take it on faith, I'm afraid.  There's no way to look at a CR and say "15 points here, 10 points here."  FICO says those inquiries are deduplicated, so we just have to assume they are.
