THis question was inspired by another poster's question about credit, and I guess its really aimed at people working in the lending institutions or those who know a little bit about it.
I really want to know why firms will not tell you why you have been refused credit for something. i have often been told that my credit score is too low for certain storecards but the providers will never tell me why. Instead they refer me to Experian or whoever, but even when I refer to the credit report, I dont really know exactly why it is low. I have no CCJs, have never been bankrupt, I am on the electoral roll. I have a credit card which I alsways pay off in full, save for a couple of occassions when I accidentally paid late.
I DO understand that previous residents at my address may affect my score, blah blah, but what I really want to know is why cant stores/lenders give SPECIFIC reasons for their refusal rather than me having to guess?
