on Manual review ALL THINGS ARE CONSIDERED... on Electronic review companies can set criteria that they absolutley will not offer credit if is contained on report they pull.
So the answer is yes to both... Some companies may assign value to recent serious delinquency and less to old ones... And *POOF* approval others may set criteria to look for ANY serious delinquency and *POOF* declined.
These boards and whogavemecredit are good sources for direction.
Good Luck.
