NFCU CLI Denial

Good afternooon..

 

Just wanted to share my experience. Have been in a  rebuild over the past 2 years. Have raised my TU scores from the high 400's to over 677  with EE. Have a couple more to go that will fall off by October with EX and EQ.  Yay!

 

After seeing my TU score shoot up, I felt confident enough to press the Love Button on the NFCU app. Received the 24 hour message. Found out today I was declined. 

 

Should have done more research that CLI on NFCU is EQ vs TU.

 

Not sure if I should apply for a new card with NFCU, hoping that they use TU or just go back to the "Garden"

 

Wanting to add another card to my portfolio. Any suggestions appreciated. (Only have 1 hard pull in 12 months.)

 

TIA

Understanding everyone's history is different, I'll just share my personal experience.  Also coming from a rebuild, I had a small limit on my first card with a score in the 670's.  When my score broke 700, I applied for another card and was granted $20K.   I don't know if waiting for a better score was necessary, but I don't think it hurt.

Honestly I don't think it really matters between bureaus when requesting cli, albeit sp, with Navy as normally your internal score probably plays a bigger role in determining one's cli availability,  though no science to back this up lol. If you are eligible they will grant what they feel they can . If not, not end of the world, just try again next monthSmiley Wink. Sometimes persistence pays offSmiley Happy

It does. Plenty of CLI denials have been reported where a CR [SP] made such a difference. Their algorithms take into consideration internal score, account performance + other factors.

 

In the OP's case, as noted upthread, it's possible they can be approved for another NFCU CC -- all things considered.

I just got a copy of my internal score as I was approved for their platinum. 2 of the negative factors made sense. New accounts and inquiries. 2 did not. Lack of diverse real estate loans (?) and lack of direct deposit. My employer doesn't do direct deposit.

Lol I stand corrected though I guess I was just trying to get across my feeling that sometimes just going for a cli, and not depending on all the data points or reasons that may or may not determine a denial or approval, is how one can go when dealing with Navy.  Right or wrong that's how  I go for cli with Navy and though I've been denied plenty I've also been approved when science, dps, and other factors  obviously says should notSmiley Wink  my specific profile I should ever have achieved what I have  so I place a lot in faith and winging it. Don't be like meSmiley Wink
