Credit denied even with good score
680 is no longer a "good" score it is "fair" harsh as it sounds.
680 is no longer a "good" score it is "fair" harsh as it sounds.. You could buy a home with that or a car( with substantial down) but most probably not get a CC.. thier criteria has gotten very tight..

Is that true?? 680 isn't good enough to get a CC??? My biggest cripplre is no revolving credit. So how are people supposed to rebuild?
This whole FICO system is so frustrating...

My own personal opinion is that people have been conned into believing that their credit score plays more of a role than it really does. (As a loan underwriter, I don't even look at people's credit scores, because they are meaningless to me). Credit scores were designed basically to eliminate the role of a traditional loan underwriter, in order to make credit approvals more automated without human involvement.
The reality is that credit cards may be the only type of grantors that go purely by a credit score. The rest of the lenders out there (including those that offer "personal loans") actually "underwrite" the loan by evaluating several factors, some of which don't even relate to your credit at all.
I tend to look at a person's length of employment as one of my key factors. I generally don't approve people who have been on their current job less than a year, or if they've been at their current job 1-3 years with previous employment less than 2 years. I also look at length of residence as another key factor.
Without knowing your situation, it's hard to assess what factors may have prevented you from being approved. The lender who turned you down will be required to send you a notice of adverse action indicating specific reasons for credit denial.
Anytime I turn down a loan applicant, we have codes that I have to put into the computer as to the reasons for denial. Just for S#!ts and giggles, below is a listing from my computer of all the various reasons we might turn a person down:
