Answer 1

This may depend on the consumer laws of the country and state or province in which you live.  The credit inquiry information is on your credit reports, and the three major credit report companies in Canada and the U.S. are Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.  You should be able to find the answer to your question by searching the FAQs on their websites.  To help get you started, some links are provided below.  If you can tell us where you live, someone might be able to provide you with a direct answer.

By the way, don't apply for any more credit cards or loans until you understand how the credit reporting system works.
