Good question? Vote for this

I have 17 hard inquiries. But I don't why there are so many. How do I eliminate the hard inquiries? When will the existing hard inquiries be taken off?

You eliminate by not appling for any credit.  They fall off your report after two years.

Seventeen is definitely a lot. If you have any reason to suspect that some of those hard inquiries aren't actually yours, go to annualcreditreport.com, get free copies of your credit reports from all three agencies, and contest anything that you think might be on your record in error.
