A prequalification isn't a guarantee of approval. At first glance (prequal) your reports may look good but when looked at deeper the second time when you apply there may be something there that the bank doesn't like. It is legal.

Happens more often than you think. Hopefully you can find out why you were denied and go from there.

The only type of "preapproval" that carries any form of guarantee is if the offer for credit was extended to a consumer based on a listing of consumers obtained from a CRA under the promotional inquiry provision of FCRA 604(c).

Unsolicited offers for credit based on a listing of consumers who have been found to meet the criteria specified by the creditor in their request for the list are required under the FCRA to be a "firm offer for credit," which is defined as an offer that must be met if the consumer then applies and is found to continue to meet the criteria specified in obtaining the listing.

If their offer included the statement that it is based on a listing of consumers obtained from a CRA, it is considered as a "firm offer for credit."

If not, it carries no requried approval offer.

Call and ask why, maybe it was just an identity verification issue.
