I applied to 'SEE MY RATES ' without it affecting my credit score. I was offered {$2000.00}. I get a letter today about my credit score which is XXXX and all the excuses why I could n't get this loan. I do n't understand why they sent this letter. It makes no sense. The XXXX XXXX offered me {$15000.00} the same day. I have not accepted any loan from either. I have borrowed from Prosper last year and paid it back early. ( see the letter I got today in this email ) ... it makes no sense. 1 ) What Prosper is saying about my credit report is NOT TRUE.. 2 ) It looks like to me just inquiring DOES affect the score and or the information otherwise, Prosper would not have even offered {$2000.00} and XXXX XXXX {$15000.00} or unless either or both colluded or the inquiry affected the others offer via my credit report.
