The best you'll get is something along the lines of "Failed internal scoring" or something like that.2 -
Maybe maybe not, nothing to lose by asking.
I asked on here because as a consumer it feels wrong but clearly its just my view.0 -

It's not wrong. They don't want people gaming the system by handing them a cheet sheet to acceptance. If you can't see why that's an entirely sensible thing to do I don't know what to say.1 -

People should be given a rough area of their report to improve for either rejected applications or accepted applications with different outcomes like lower months of introduction period.

Almost none of what is on your application can easily be changed. Yes, you could earn more money but it's not just a case of going out and earning more money. You could become a homeowner but you're not suddenly going to go out and buy a house because it'll make you a safer bet to lenders. You can't just get rid of dependents for example.
What you can do, however, is lie about any of the above in order to increase your chances, and telling people why they were rejected is only going to encourage more of that.6 -

Earn more money, have fewer outgoings, own a house, pay your bills on time, don't run up large amounts of debt. It's not rocket science.2 -
