Will refinancing my auto loan affect my FICO and/or credit score?


ANSWER


Expert Michael Lim's Answer:

The answer is, "maybe."  Refinancing your auto loan will inevitably require a credit inquiry - excessive credit inquiries will reduce your credit score.

 

However, the act of refinancing the auto loan itself does not affect your credit score.
