How To Deal With Credit Denial
John Simpson
Understanding what's on your credit report is extremely important. Especially, if you have applied for credit and the creditor denied your application.
If you are denied credit, do not ignore this fact. Most individuals will move on to the next creditor, never questioning why they were denied or asking vital information.
If a creditor denies you credit, be prepared to ask several questions. You may feel uncomfortable or embarrassed at this point; however, this is your life and showing concern is showing responsibility.
* Question 1: Why was I denied credit? This question is the most imperative of any question you may ask. In some cases the creditor will not know why you were denied. Most frequently a creditor will respond with a quick answer, such as:
1. Not enough credit history; 2. Low credit score; 3. Several delinquent accounts and/or to much debt.
With this information you are able to determine if it is necessary for you to order your credit report. After being denied credit from a creditor, you are able to obtain a free copy of your credit report from the credit bureau within 60 days of your denial.
* Question 2: Which credit bureau do you use to supply customers credit reports? You will need to know the credit bureau who supplied your credit information to the creditor; in order, to request your free credit report.
* Question 3: May I please have the contact information for the credit bureau, along with a copy of the denial letter provided to you?
The creditor should have no problem providing this information for you. You will need the contact information of the credit bureau in order to contact the bureau and request your free credit report. The contact information should include a toll free number and possibly a website address.
You may want to keep the denial letter for your records. The denial letter may include vital information and also, the date of your denial.
After collecting all of the necessary information, your next step is to contact the credit bureau and request your free credit report. You are able to review your credit report and argue any inaccuracies; however, this process may take several weeks.
So, credit denial doesn't have to mean you can't get the finance you need. Just follow the above steps and you'll soon be back on the road to good credit worthiness. == Find out how to repair your credit.
