time4sax asked:
I just found out that the dealer were I purchased my vehicle had submitted my application to at least 20 banks/credit unions to get me financed. My credit score dropped 25 points in just 2 days due to the 20 inquiries now showing up on my credit report. Isn’t there a limit on how many places they can submit a credit application? I know I should have secured my own financing before going to the dealer, but I didn’t think they could ruin your credit score like this. Is there anything I can do to have all these inquires removed?
secured credit application
