No. Hits from the consumer don't show or count, nor do updates from current credit providers. Similarly, "cluster" hits, such as several mortgage companies or brokers, within a short period of time (i.e. shopping for the best mortgage) only lower your score as one hit. At least that's the case here in Canada. I'd imagine it's the same there.
