Couple of Personal Loan denials tonight, DPs

Just got an estimate from the plumber today for a garage conversion project, so I wanted to see what my options for personal loans were. These were all soft pull "check your rate" inquiries:

 

Loan amount requested: $13,000

 

SoFi Experian 706 (current score from yesterday's update)

Upgrade Transunion 755 (doesn't say but I can only assume its a FAKO)

Upstart Transunion 720, 740 vantagescore3.0

 

Pretty typical reasons given: derogatory accounts, utilization, etc

 

-FICO in sig are current

-1 collection and (2) 30d (1) 60d on TU, EX

- Aggregate Utilization 18% (largely due to an AU account, otherwise only 7%)

AU card 36% individual utilization

CareCredit (0% APR) 42% individual utilization

 

Can't do much about those baddies unfortunately, but I can come off of that AU card since my loan balances will be significantly less (will lose 3 years of age, but oh well) and do my best to pay that CareCredit under 30%.

Get off that card. Care Credit under 28% not 30%. That will help. Sorry about the denials.

Guess this was moved to this section. I got off of it the other day and that statement closes between 10-12 so should see the results next week some time.

I did exactly that, +2000 to bring it under 29%!
