Score Differences and INQs Question?

If someone can kindly look at my DPs and give their input, I seek clarification and knowledge.

 

Is it normal that my EQ score is quite a bit lower than the other 2? Especially with a lower # of INQs?

 

I am personally counting 6 mortgage INQs from time period October 26-November 17 as only one INQ, is that how they would be viewed by the 3Bs?  Otherwise my INQs would be   EQ 8/12  TU 13/12  EXP 13/12

 

EXP has two INQs from FNBO on 5/12.  Do you think I can get one removed and if so, how to go about that?

 

EXP also has a Citi INQ that was a mistaken cold app (denied) for Custom Cash that they just converted from a TYP anyway when I asked.  Am I stuck with that dumb mistake or can do anything about that?

 

Should I spend my time/energy to work on these items (if theres even anything I can do)?

 

THANK YOU!!

EQ also reports that Citi INQ in addition to EXP if it makes a difference

Part of getting credit. Inq's arent the deal breaker when it comes to score dings. The new accounts ding more than any inq would. They'll fall of FICO in a year.
