I applied for a loan for €1,500 and waited one week for them to get back to me after they did a credit rating check on me everything came back fine. I was refused on the grounds that I owe them €9,000 and that this would bring my balance back up. I have savings in the credit union of €4,300. I was told that all of the loan that I currently have taken out has to be clear before you can get another loan. I have been a member for 27 years and never missed a payment on my loan. I was also told I am an excellent customer and that I have a great credit record with them but I have still been refused. Has anyone had anything similar happen to them.
