No credit card required

Hi, I was approved for the Dell Preferred Account card in Nov 2022 and here are my data points. At the time of the application, I had 1 credit union card with a $1000 limit that was opened in 2016 that has 1 30 day late in 2019, and a car loan opened since Mar 2021, always on time. There are 2 charge offs in 2020 that were paid in settlement less than full in 2021 and 1 collection that I paid in full in Oct 2022. I had 1 inquiry at the time, and that was for the auto loan. Also, if it matters, I'm an authorized user on a credit union card from 2002 with an $18000 limit, which gets used maybe once or twice a year for a small charge, but I don't have a physical card.
The limit I was approved for is $4000. They pulled Experian and said my score was 752 in a scoring range of 200-950. I have searched to find out which scoring model this is, and I'm not certain, but the closest I could find is that it ~might be an 'enhanced auto score' (?). Does anyone else know? I do now have the Fico subscription, but I don't see any score that has that range.
The key factors they mention that adversely affected my credit score are below, but I notice they didn't even consider my charge offs or collection in that score. Here they are:
-Insufficient credit data available
-Number of revolving trades with balance activity in last 6 months too low
-Number of bankcard trades too low
-History of all installment trades too low
Hope this data helps others that are interested in applying ![]()
