Year applications mortgage originated means you haven't had your mortgage long enough. You are still only paying off the interest, and have not enough equity in your home. How much of a down payment did you put?And whats the house worth? This has nothing to do with the specific year it originated it simply means it hasn't been long enough. |

Well, the rejection letter says, literally "year mortgage originated", not "mortgage too young". Secondly, there is no lending protocol that says anyone whose mortgage is under XXX years old can't get other loans. Otherwise, everyone who buys a house would be routinely shut out of other kinds of lending for years. If that were the case, since this is the 3rd house I've owned, I'd have seen that kind of reason for rejection before! |

Wouldn't you be better off working with a credit union or locally owned bank? Quoting: ElementX. I was wondering that, too. Seems to me there are better places to go for a loan ... starting with where ever one has their bank account. . .

Ricfly52 User ID: 709239 United States 12/14/2009 11:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Friend. The last thing you want right now is an auto loan. If you have a running car, count yourself lucky, and forget a new car. I am telling you the system is going in the shitter soon. If you have a car loan, they will just reposess it, sit it on a lot, and let it rust. That is what greedy people do. Keep your paid off cars and try and ride out the next three years. It will be very rocky to say the least. Fishing and skiing keeps me a little sane. |
embu User ID: 830784 United States 12/14/2009 11:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK, now I have proof that banks are turning down lending for frivolous reasons, just like Barack Obama said yesterday. We got an "Explanation of Rejection" letter for an auto loan in the mail today. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 840970Now I don't want to claim that taking out an auto loan is the best thing to do right now. But our old car was breaking down too much and we found a steal of a deal on a used 45K miles Toyota Tacoma that we can really use to save money on doing some work on our house. We applied for auto loans -- we have little debt and high income -- but were turned down except for high interest loans. We accepted the high interest loan because it's a simple interest loan that we can pay off early without penalty at any time. But here's the kicker: we just got the letter in the mail today on why Capital One turned us down for an auto loan, and here's the explanation: "Year applicant's mortgage originated". So just because we have a mortgage that originated in the past few years (at the height of the housing bubble) they assume we're poor credit risks. Actually, we sold a house in one high-appreciation market and bought another house in a similar market, and use some of the proceeds from the one house as a down payment on the mortgage, which was a low interest simple conventional loan. So we are not under water on our mortgage and we have a low interest conventional loan that is not going to balloon or reset on us. The fact that we were denied an auto loan simply because of the year our mortgage originated, without any other rationale, supports what Obama said yesterday and what others have been saying: banks are not interested in lending and are making irrational decisions to refuse to lend. Banks are making more money on Wall Street and options trading than risking lending in a recession they helped create, and their refusals to lend are helping shut down the economy even more. Excuse my language, but fuck 'em. The whole threat that led to the bailouts last year was that if the banks fail, they can't lend and the economy will shut down. Seems like they're not really lending anyways and as far as I can tell, we should have let them fail. you've failed to mention the most obvious explanation, they have to turn down loans because their losses are so massive and ongoing, that they don't have the money. |
