Against my better judgment, I went ahead and applied online for the Acceptourcard MC issued by HSBC (soon to be Cap One). I got a "pre-selected" come-on from them in the mail.
I applied online. I was hit with a denial in a bout 20 seconds. They used TransUnion. Then, I noticed that there was a disclosure at the bottom of the denial. It said "see what other offers from HSBC you quailify for...". I didn't want to waste the inquiry, so I clicked on it. However, it had an electronic "time out" and the window closed.
The interesting part was the 100 to 600 score range on the denial notice. It read that I scored 413 out of a score range between 100 and 600.
Have any of you guys seen that before?
Experian (lender pull) 680
Eq FICO (also lender pull) 680
(both within the last 2-1/2 weeks)
have gone on a inquiry spree (3 in last 5months)
FYI - Things that are hurting my credit right now: no real estate loan(s), high utiliaztion (70%, but varies form 35-70%), some of my accounts are new. My oldest credit that is still on my report is 18-years old d shows paid as agreed, in full.
Thanks

The scoring range you seen from HSBC is not a FICO score. This is an "in-house" score from HSBC. High util. more than likely played a part in your denial of the card.

Thanks. I knew it wasn't a FICO. I was just wondering if anyone had seen it before. i think you are right, I do have high utilization and I think that it played the largest role in the DENIAL. I only have (1) 30-day late on my report that is from when I traded in my truck and bought a new one about a year ago. The bank that carried the old loan reported it late even though they received the pay-off as requested by the requested date. They even told me that I did not need to make the scheduled payment because it would change the payoff and it was only a difference of a couple of days (from 30 days).
The scheduled payment was late, but it was only a few dollars because I overpaid each scheduled payment. I should have gone with my gut instinct. I was a little distracted at the time dealing with some difficult personal family issues.
I don't have a way to bring down my util % until next month. Do you think it is worth trying a recon?
Thanks

I've gotten two "pre-selected" offers within a week of each other...one for a MasterCard and the other for a Visa. Applied for the MasterCard (which was issued by Household Bank) and was approved. I thought I'd maybe try my luck (bad idea in hindsight, really) and applied for the Visa offer which was issued by Orchard Bank. I figured I'd get declined since I had gotten approved for the other one (the general rule being you cannot have more than one HSBC Nevada account) and was expecting it to say just that.
I instead got that same scoring model being 390 out of 600. They pulled Equifax...I was a little confused but then realized it wasn't even a FICO score.
