# What if I filed for bankruptcy?

During the screening and processing of an application, we look at all of the information provided. The information is put into a scoring system and an algorithm generates a score. This score helps us to determine which applicants are approved. Even applicants with lower credit scores or bankruptcies can get approved this way. We often find that a low credit score causes the applicant to fall into the scoring category that requires a double security deposit.
