At the beginning of the month I shopped around for a mortgage rate. I'm signed up for equixfax score watch, where they will let you know changes in your score. My score dropped 46 points. 3 mortgage companies pulled my credit, and from what I understand all inquires would count as only one hard pull. Why the drastic change in score?

I think you have a 10 or 12 day period in which all the credit pulls will count as one.

No way you dropped 46 points just for the inquiries. Did you have a drastic change in balance on any of your credit cards?

did you apply for anythign else? like a car/CC/anything?

If you shop between different types of credit then the bureaus will see that and see it as either a mis-use of credit or as fraudulent activity. THey will lower the score to prevent credit being extended.
