I'm not entirely sure what this has to do with Dakotas, however, the above really isn't a great idea. Whenever a company checks your credit report the credit reporting companies make note of that on the credit report (for a year, I believe) In general, a large number of companies checking your credit report (Partucularly in a short time frame) is a bad thing to have on your credit report. Although you do get a free look at your credit report if your denied credit it's not expensive to check on it yourself (I believe it ranges from free to under $10 depending on the state you're in) Just call the 800 numbers for any of the big crediting reporting agencies. Incidently, being denied insurance based (even partially) on your credit report does qualify you for a free copy.
