Venture One denied. Credit freeze the reason?

My FICO score are as below
EX: 802
TU: 773
EQ: 800
I applied for a capital one venture card today and was denied. Got an email saying that they will mail me the reason for rejection in about 10 days.

I then realized that maybe my credit freeze could be the reason. I already have a capital one Platinum MasterCard and assumed that they should be able to pull my credit since I have an account with them. Am I wrong? Should I reapply after unfreezing my credits?

I've opened a new auto loan in June and the last credit card I opened was last year. I don't think that would show up as too many inquiries for them to reject me, right?

How many inquries do you have accross the 3 bureaus? Smiley Happy

 

Your Capital One Platinum MasterCard does not help Capital One pull your credit report. It is a factor in the lending decsion because it demonstrates your internal history with them.

My report shows 2 hard inquiries on EX and EQ both for my auto loan, 4 hard inquiries on TU, of which 2 are for auto loan. I have been assuming that multiple auto loan inquiries that occur in a short time period (2 weeks) are treated as one inquiry.

Those could have the reason for your denial, but I am not sure. You do not have a lot IMHO, and your scores are exceptional. Perhaps you were denied because your credit reports were frozen.

 

I hope others with more knowledge than I will chime in soon. Smiley Happy

Lenders with existing relationships can SP, not HP, if the CRAs are locked or frozen. You're correct that you're probably denied for frozen profiles.

That's a misconception. Rate shopping for home or auto will result in a single ding for a short period of time. All the inquiries will still count after the fact. The good news is that if you're ever denied for too many inquiries, you simply need to recon and explain the rate shopping. Anyone doing a manual review will factor them out.

 

Also, cap1 has a 9/24 rule which you are far under. But, too many inquiries are what theyre looking at lately. At least, that's why I wasn't approved for the last one I apped for. Also the reason they won't give me a CLI.

Applying for Capitol One main credit cards are always a triple pull. If you have frozen reports they can't access your credit reports and it would be a big reason on decision to deny.

Sorry about your denial. 

 

You should call for recon instead of reapplying if it was denied due to your CRs being frozen because as stated previously CapOne pulls from all 3 CRAs (they pulled all 3 when I applied and I had an existing card with them Smiley Mad).

Re: Venture One denied. Credit freeze the reason?

Are you applying for a new card because your old one is binned as a starter and you want higher CLs? Because otherwise, it may be better to try to PC your existing C1 card, especially to avoid that triple pull. I think C1 can also approve with 2/3 CRs unfrozen but not with all 3 frozen.

That's right. I have some big purchases in the next month and my existing platinum card doesn't earn any rewards. Wanted to get a card that gives decent rewards so applied for the venture. I plan on calling the recon number to get clarity in why my application was rejected.
