Walmart Hates ME!!!

Why doesn't Walmart like me?  

 

I have applied twice.  My scores are accurate per mortgage pull.

 

The only negative I have on TU is two paid off judgments that are 3 years old.  I have two credit cards and student loans reporting with perfect payment history.  My CU visa that is reporting has $1000 line of credit with utilization around 10%.  My student loans are 7 years reporting.

 

My daughter who is just starting out was approved with no revolving history and a 1 year car loan and got approved for $500 and was recently upped to $900.  Me?  Denied and denied!

The judgements may be too recent for GE's liking.

 

What were the denial reasons in the letter you recieved?

Wait 30 days and re-apply in-store if you didn't already. I had no luck when I applied on-line and was denied 3 times.

The judgements are no doubt part of the reason, as stated by others above.

 

However, it's also very true that if you wait and apply in store, you'll have a better chance.  People will argue that statement til the cows come home, but it's 100% true, there are many reasons the online app can be denied when an in-store app might have been approved.  A lot of it has to do with identity verification, only 1 of the issues bypassed when applying in store.
