Someone told me in DM on this forum: 'Don't waste time to trying to make sense of it all because it doesn't make sense.' I get it now. But it is hard not to think about it. What I am also not understanding is being told by my income specialist I qualify on the spot, collecting all verification forms, having her contacting me for more explanations, checking my credit two weeks after and sending my file to the Leasing.. Then Leasing Specialist asking more questions about other nonsense (never about paystubs or income) just to be rejected based on income 6 weeks after, without any explanation! I did not submit any documents that show income changed - same paystubs. Why wasn't I rejected on the spot immediately, or at least two weeks after if those same paystybs showed that I do not qualify!? Because it was clear that I DO QUALIFY! It is ridiculous! I'd understand someone being rejected later on, if your file is sitting there for 120 days and the new documents show change of income. But those were my newest pay stubs, nothing changed since the interview.

Per Marketing Guidelines Handbook, your money order can be cashed and credit checked ONLY if you appear to qualify! So why the hell did they checked it? Why not reject me immediately and return my money order!?

Per Marketing Guidelines, also they need to give an explanation of their calculation. There is no explanation on the letter whatsoever, just the number $34.729.16! HOW?! WHERE DID IT COME FROM!? Also, no signature or initial of the person who rejected me. It is an empty 2nd page of the rejection letter! Is this normal!?

I am so pissed off you guys have no idea!
I hear you! Since you already have a leasing specialist, maybe you should call him and ask him to explain calculations. I think the way they do it with pay stubs is they calculate average of six weeks and then multiply that by 52 weeks in a calendar year. If you can't get the through with the leasing specialist you could try get in touch with his supervisor.

That is exactly how I calculated it and I am still OVER what they calculated. However I calculate I am over. Brianna calculated it in front of me and it was fine. It's Labor Day on Monday, so I will do what you suggested on Tuesday. His name is Ben, but there is no signature on the rejection letter. I am assuming it did come from him. If he doesn't pick up, how do I find out who his supervisor is? These people never pick up.

When my leasing specialist wasn't picking up I went to the offices with the paperwork and asked for him. They told me he wasn't there, so I asked to speak to his supervisor, who was there.

Thanks! I may just do that on Tuesday! I still will have to appeal regardless even if he explains how the calculation happened, correct? They can't change their mind on the spot if I prove them otherwise?

No idea if you'll be able to skip the appeal time, but it's worth a try!

I don't think you can do that, as per the manual and I wouldn't trust it either. Try to talk to them regardless but have your appeal already written with the proof.

Previous years income was less $ anyway, but she didn't look at that at all. The one she calculated was the current income based on my pay stubs in the last 6 months... and I know for a fact this year income (and therefore projected income) is the highest.

If you're a freelancer or self employed I think they calculate income by averaging the last three tax returns. Would that give you the number they got?
