Pre Qual Strength

So here is a question I have not seen asked...

 

If you have "firm rate" prequal from a few different finance companies would it be logical that those that gave a "firm rate", the lower the rate the stronger the pre-qual and possible indicater of a larger SL?

 

Is that kinda logic demonstrated in known lender behavior

When you say finance companies, what are you referring to?

 

If you mean credit card issuers your logic is sound. Perhaps it is just me, but "finance companies" is a term often associated with preditory lenders. These types of lenders can often lower your credit scores as they portray desperation, rightly or wrongly.

 

Many of the installment lenders marketed by various "free credit score" websites will fall into this category, perhaps unfairly. There is a great deal of information available via web searches.

 

Edit: SL should have clued me in.

Everyone around here says if it is not a range, but a specific rate, it is solid.

BT all of your balances (unless they are 0%) to NFCU. That gets you AZEO, and under 30% with NCFU.

 

Wait a month for them to all report. I bet your offers will improve.

 

You still need to worry about all the new accounts.  It is going to catch up.
