Applied for a $45k personal loan @ 36mo today over the phone. 814 TU, $27.5k total credit avail, 1% util, but AAoA is 6 months. That's likely the issue. Have been with Navy Fed 7 months; flagship checking, savings, CC (just got approved for $8k CLI 2 weeks ago), pledge loan (95% paid off), OOPS protection.
No derogs; only negatives is my AAoA and I don't have direct deposit with Navy Fed.
Re-applied with the same rep for $30k and was denied again.
Wondering how long to wait to try again, maybe with a smaller number.
Appreciate your thoughts.
What reason(s) did they specify for the denials? That would help paint a bigger picture.

Do you have any other installment loan history besides the NFCU pledge loan?
You may be correct about the AAoA but is your income / DTI also in a good place to support this loan?
I haven't gotten the letter yet to know, but the rep said the code related to my credit report and not my income or internal standing.
My AAoA is 6 months, (1.5y, 7mo, 6mo, 1mo).
Income $125k/y, rent $250/mo.
This would be my first real loan outside of the pledge loan.
I was denied an auto loan with Navy last year, with an AoYA just under 3 months. I wasn't thinking about app timing, but that seemed to be their main issue. The other two items they listed on my letter, didn't make sense to me as truly valid reasons for denial.
