Still isn’t going to tell you why they rejected you.theroninhunter said:Oh well guess I'll just send a GDPR request for access to personal data.2 -
They're allowed to omit anything that is commercially sensitive (and their scoring system is exactly that)theroninhunter said:Oh well guess I'll just send a GDPR request for access to personal data.
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 -
Not maybe not, absolutely not. You do have something to lose by asking, your time. Although perhaps if you don't value that then maybe you don't.theroninhunter said:Maybe maybe not, nothing to lose by asking.

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 -
Look we can beat around the Bush all day on this, I disagree with your previous comment and still think some feedback on improvement areas is important however that's the whole point of freedom of speech everyone has their own opinion.ThisnotThat said:

thanks for the comments all but I'm not getting into an argument so won't be replying anymore.0 -
You don't need feedback. What you're asking for (if it isn't specifically why you were given a shorter duration) is freely available on the internet.theroninhunter said:

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 -
Thanks for the comments, I've asked the forum team to lock this thread. There is no point in getting frustrated over each other's different opinions.0
