    Looks like affordability, especially in the times of tightened lending.

    Your credit ratings are meaningless, so you should also check your CRA files to see what actually appears on each.
  • Car finance (how much)
    Card debt (how much)
    Salary approx?

    That will be the issue though - if you have lots of debt vs income then less likely to get more credit from lenders
