I submitted XXXX applications through the Bank of America, which were both declined and as a result, have negatively affected my credit score due to the number of credit enquiries. The first application submitted for an additional credit card was declined due to not having a 'credit history '. I was issued a letter outing this however, no information was provided to me confirming what the Bank of America classifies as a 'credit history ', how long it would take to establish a 'credit history ' or what I could do to establish a 'credit history '. I did not receive a follow-up phone call or information advising where I could access this information. 

The second application for refinancing on an auto loan I submitted on XXXX XXXX, 2016. I submitted my second application confidently once I was given strong advice by XXXX of your employees that I would not have an issue with the approval of this application given I have been banking with Bank of America for over a year and other factors that were discussed. These employees were XXXX XXXX, a personal banker and the XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX location and XXXX XXXX, a relationship manager at the XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX location. My XXXX application for refinancing was declined due to not having a 'credit history '.
