    Does she have an income? If not, unlikely any lender will give her a CC

    As many other people have told you, ignore the score, no lender ever sees it, they all have their own internal scoring systems which you will never see

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
