When you're rejected for a loan by a bank in the USA you're entitled by law to know the reason. If your credit is good, your job is stable, and you've got no history of finance-related crime then you won't be denied a loan. If you're denied a loan because of the type of porn you browsed or some shit you said on Twitter, then that's grounds for a discrimination lawsuit.

When you get your credit report, there is a statistical breakdown of your score and all of the sources on the report. So, if there is something as stupid as a social media adjustment, you can contest that.
