conversation: User (CatFanTheMan): "I was recently rejected for a credit card I applied for despite having good credit. The reasoning the card company gave was that they could not verify my identity and I have no idea why they wouldn't be able to verify my identity as they have my SSN, DOB, and all the other info with which to verify it.  I do need to apply for more CC's and now my credit score is even better, but I don't want to have the same rejection. Does anybody know what could have happened?  "
  Self: "It happened to me before when I applied online.  It didn't reject me, it just said it couldn't approve me because it couldn't verify my identity.  So I called the number the card company provided and I had to email them a copy of my driver's license (and I can't remember if there was anything else) and they approved me right there over the phone.  The rep said it could've happened if I didn't have enough credit history (not the case - I had at least 10 years of credit at that point) and it could also happen if there's an odd discrepancy in my data or if there's something going on that automatically flags it in the system (rep thought it might've been because I had more than 3 addresses in the last 2 years)."
  User (CatFanTheMan): "I remember the letter reading as an outright rejection but I will follow up with them.  I probably should have called them before posting. Thank you!"
