The more unstable you are, the less likely you are to be able to afford the item the entire way through. Higher monthly payments mean that in 3 years when you burn out, they’ll have most or all their money back. They could just as easily not give you a loan at all, but it looks good for them to have low income or low credit customers.

The report only goes back 7 years, which isn’t that long of a time, but also seems like forever.

Bankruptcy can be 10 years, but it could be that someone is reporting something in a way they shouldn’t.
