Loan APPLICATION rejection can happen for multiple reasons. Inconsistency and delay in payments of your debts is the typical reason. It can also happen if you’re ignorant about how your adverse credit history is leading to loan rejections. If you’ve been rejected recently, it’s important to assess the reasons and work on them. It’s also important to keep track of what your loan applications and their rejection are doing to your credit score. Multiple rejections can damage your credit score further, and it could take you months or years to recover from there. Here are some things you can do if your loan application has been rejected recently.
Assess reason for rejectionFind out why you were rejected. Typically, a lender will provide the reason to help the borrower course-correct and become eligible for the loan. For example, providing a guarantor might help in getting the loan. Rejections can be caused by a wide variety of reasons such as poor credit score (under 700), insufficient income, too many pending loans, non-payment or late payment of previous loans, problematic employment history, legal issues in movable and immovable property to be mortgaged to the lender, etc. The rejection can also happen due to errors in your credit report-for example, your PAN is erroneously linked to someone else’s loan default. Knowing the reason is an important step in improving your credit health.
