Key Scenarios

- Foreigners: Applications may be delayed or denied if employment pass verification fails.
- Low-Income Applicants: Failure to meet minimum debt repayment thresholds (TDSR) can result in rejection.
- Bad Credit: Lenders hesitate to approve loans for applicants with poor credit scores or unresolved debts.
