#loanrejection

Got a loan rejection and not sure why? Lenders don't reject randomly it's almost always one of these fixable reasons. Let's go through them.

1. Low Credit Score: Your credit score is the #1 thing lenders check. Fix it: pay down balances, dispute errors, avoid new credit lines before applying.

2. High Debt-to-Income Ratio: Too much monthly debt vs. income = red flag, even with good credit.

Fix it: pay off small debts first, or apply for a smaller loan amount.

3. Unstable or Insufficient Income: Irregular income or a brand-new job can trigger a loan denial.

Fix it: add extra income docs, wait 3–6 months in a new job, or add a co-signer.

4. Application Errors: Missing docs or mismatched info = surprisingly common rejection reason.

Fix it: double check everything before hitting submit.

5. Not Enough Collateral: For a secured loan, if your collateral value falls short, you're denied credit score aside.

Fix it: get an updated valuation or offer more collateral.

6. Too Many Recent Credit Inquiries: Multiple applications in a short window looks risky to lenders.

Fix it: space out applications, use pre-qualification tools first.

7. No Credit History: New to credit? Lenders may not have enough info to say yes.

Fix it: try a secured credit card, credit-builder loan, or add a co-signer.

After a rejection, do this:

→ Ask for the reason in writing → Pull your credit report and check for errors → Wait before reapplying (too many attempts hurts your score) → Try a different lender — approval criteria isn't universal
