What do I do if I'm turned down for credit?

By law the lender must provide you the specific reasons why you were rejected, and the name and address of the credit bureau that provided your credit report. You can appeal your rejection by sending a letter to the lender explaining why you are a better credit risk than your credit report indicates. But it is best to rebuild your credit before applying for credit again.
