Credit One Prequel and stated credit score?

[Anonymous]

So I was a bit bored at work and decided to check if I could preqauilify for Credit One Credit Card. Yes I only have one credit card which is 4 years old, which the current balance is $87 on $4500 limit. I have had perfect payment history for the past 4 years, no lates no issues. I let my charges off go in 2008, which was 11 years ago on several cards. I have checked my Fico 800 and above and Vantage which is at 760, I was suprised that I was denied for the following factors: 

Reasons for Denial of Credit

Your application was processed by a credit scoring system that assigns a numerical value to the various items of information we consider in evaluating an application. These numerical values are based upon the results of analyses of repayment histories of large numbers of customers.

The information you provided in your application did not score a sufficient number of points for approval of the application. The reasons you did not score well compared with other applicants were:

You have too few credit accounts

Balances relative to credit limits reported on revolving accounts

Number of accounts

Delinquency reported on accounts

Information about Your Credit Score

We also calculated a custom risk score from information contained in your credit report obtained from the above listed consumer reporting agency and used it in making our credit decision. Your credit score is a number that reflects the information in your credit report. Your credit score can change, depending on how the information in your credit report changes.

Your credit score: 422

Date: 2/5/2019

Scores range from a low of 300 to a high of 900

Key factors that adversely affected your credit score:

You have too few credit accounts

Balances relative to credit limits reported on revolving accounts

Number of accounts

Delinquency reported on accounts

Number of inquiries

So I just checked my Experian credit report, which is where this denial came from and its clean, No Delinquency reported on accounts? 

Balance is low, Yes I only have 1 account showing on Experian.  I have zero inquires for the 2 past years  What gives?

This was based off Experian which I immedility pulled for free based off this soft pull PREQUAL. There is no Delinquencies reported on accounts? Current balance has been $150, $87, and $57 of $4500 credit limit past 3 months, zero inquires in the last 2 years. My Discover Fico show 800 and above and my Tansunion Vantage shows 761. Yes I only have one credit card, which is 4 years old but where is that 422 credit score coming from?

OP
I think you need your free annual report to ensure there is nothing lurking on them—something you may have overlooked or something that doesn’t belong to you. Here’s the link:

Why are you applying to Credit One with FICO score of 800?! I would be checking the prequels on Amex, BOFA, Cap one, and Discover! If your current card is with Discover and is over 1 year old, you can get another card with them.

Trust me nothing is lurking Ive been very focused on checking my 3 credit stores at least every 6 months and current shows no inquires, deliquent accounts, my credit profile has been clean since 2015 when charge off where dropped and I made sure everyone one of those wiped off and its been clean since than

Credit One used to deny people if their Fico score was too high . Used to abuse this for free reports. Their score is some funky enhanced mutant variant and I would not sweat it . Go for something like discover or Amex or try for a preapprival from a real bank not something aimed for rebuilders. Your not profitable enough for credit none. Oddly enough I’d go for a Amex revolver next, but the sky and your income is the limit right now. Family member had a similar situation with great scores but only one card. You actually might gain points or have a temporary dip esp if you go for two cards.... but you will get it back regardless. Does one of the Amex subs work for you.. also if you don’t go for a second discover I’d try for a cli before I do anything and wait for it to post or decline. There is a magic number of 3 cards. What do you think @pizza1

CreditOne logic:

500’s Fico = 800’s Credit1
650’s Fico = 600’s Credit1
800’s Fico = 400’s Credit1

Of course this is a joke...or is it? 🤔
