PenFed PCR Denial

Anonymous — Wed, 17 Oct 2018 14:32:29 GMT

They stated I had opened too many accounts recently. I opened five earlier this year. My AAoA is still 4 years. AooA 14 years. Pulled EQ of course, it was 795. I had 6 total inquiries, all from this year. They congratulated me on my great credit and talked to me for 15 minutes about how sorry he was they couldn't approved. And that I should try in a few months when my accounts age a little bit. So I'll try again in maybe 5-6 months. Hah, now I've gotta let the two new navy accounts age as well.

Another Egyptian denial. PenFed is one of, if not the most sensitive lenders to recent new accounts and inquiries, they have tighten up even more lately.

I had the same experience. Eq 735, DTI 8%, income $120k. They gave me the same reason- too many new accounts. I had opened 2 cards with Navy. One 10/2017 and one 3/2018. AAoA 6years. Denied. Oh well, went back to Navy and snagged the Flagship for the 50k bonus.

Sorry to hear about the denial.

Maybe HUCA.

I’ve seen here that PenFed is super sensitive to new accounts/inquires but that wasn’t the case with me. When I opened my PenFed card I was LOL/12 (11-13 new accounts under a year) sitting around 7 inquires all within the past year.

They gave me a 19K SL and the best auto rate loan.
