    The bank would still loan to me personally, just at 17.5%

    That’s how banks tell you they’re not interested.

      You’d think there’d be a threshold where they just say “no” though?

      I’m not shocked I got approved, even with that interest rate, my credit isn’t bad, just non existent.

      I’m shocked my friend got approved with 2 judgements. What’s the point of a judgment? I suppose I don’t know the details, they could be old, etc. just seems irresponsible.
