To be entirely fair the score isn’t the only determining factor. My credit is around 690 with perfect payment history except for one delinquent student loan account from 6.5 years ago and I still get rejected for things that “should” only require a score of > 640.
Not surprising unfortunately. There’s no accountability or transparency; they can deny any application they want for any reason, and don’t have to tell you why. As long as they don’t come out and say it’s due to being a member of a protected class (which they can act on indirectly, just can’t say it out loud), they can get away with any reasoning.
I have to argue with people about that. You are 100% correct you can be denied jobs, homes etc even protected classes. It happens a lot in these right to work states were they don’t have to tell you why you don’t get the job or why you were fired.
I have been a victim to that twice myself with no recourse.
