Bank of America Deinial, I can't believe the reason

"you don not ave a sufficient number of credit references and you do not have sufficient established revolving credit accounts"  that is a laugh, how many do they want? And I have to admit that all but 5 of those are open, and active, with no lates including on the 5 closed accounts, the oldest being 44 months old.

Yes, this does seem to baffle the mind considering the positive information you shared.  Maybe 75-100 accounts is the lucky number?

 

Personally, I have not had any negative experiences with BofA but it may be worth a shot for an analyst/underwriter to look it over if you want the above decision to be reconsidered.  However, to my knowledge, there is a possibility of another HP.

Call backdoor and have a real person look at report and see if they still say the same stupid things... I don't like the reasons for denial letters anyway... they are a requirement, they don't have to make sense!

Re: Bank of America Deinial, I can't believe the reason

My brother was denied for this same exact reason. Hes 19 with no credit history other than the AU cards i gave him. When he got the letter it said his EX score was 768. I told him to call and ask for a recon. 10 mins later he was approved for bofa basic with 1k cl. He been banking with them since he was 16 so i dont know if that helps

This is a prime example as to why I don't have any desire to deal with Bank of America. I find their entire system to be backwards on what is logical.

BOFA is a weird bank, trust me, I bank with them. But hey, at least they gave me my first card. That's weird though, you shouldnt really have a problem getting approved by them.

The BOA Constrictor is hard to predict .     Best to stay away from those if possible.  They are seldom friendly.
