Credit Unions offer better rates all the time because you are a member of the CU. This is why Penfed can offer that rate

So just trying to understand:  you got a credit card with US Bank, and it got closed because you refinanced an autoloan?  Was the auto loan with US Bank, your statement (yea ok maybe some other time) suggests not.   So did they close the credit card because of an apparent new line of credit, even though presumably the monthly fee on the refinance was lower than the original?

OK, good on Penfed.  So when/why did US Bank close your credit card with them?  After the Penfed credit card?

Re: US BANK NOT A SERIOUS LENDER

It sounds like US Bank did an account review, saw the new inquiries, and decided they didn't want to risk lending to you anymore.  It's a bummer, I guess, but certainly doesn't make them "predatory."  In fact, it makes them just about the opposite of predatory.  Predatory lenders try to find people down on their luck to lend to at usurious interest rates.  That doesn't sound like what US Bank did.  

 

No need to badmouth a lender because of a legitimate business decision they made.

Re: US BANK NOT A SERIOUS LENDER

12% and 1.4% are very far apart.I guess i understand they make their decision within their guidlines but the guidline at this point with us bank is clear.

With 715 fico you should qualify for a 4.9% autoloan used 48months.Why was i getting 12.9% instead.Thats the reason i call it predatory because they try to go outside their own guidlines by 8%.Anyways thats not the point.I got my loan at penefed at 1.49%.The point is why they closed my credit account with them over shoping for a autoloan inquiries.

FICO score is not everything. Having a high FICO score does not mean you will get the best rate. What's on your credit report is far more important than a calculated number.

 

US Bank can deny you over an inquiry and that is a valid business decision. If you don't like the rate simply go to another lender. Just like car shopping; if you don't like the price then walk out.

Re: US BANK NOT A SERIOUS LENDER

but ur missing the point.What that got to do anything with closing an existing credit card that i had with them for 3 months.And all that because i was shoping for auto loan.Why is that we talk about things with out talking the time to understand the situation.We the consumers we have to help each other and that mean sharing the experience.
