It kind of depends on the nature of the thing that happened. If, for example, you were convicted of credit card fraud, don't expect me ever to grant you credit again. If, on the other hand, you bounced a few checks and have maintained a good credit record since then, no sweat. What was it that happened? How do you know the reason you were turned down? When was this? Did you do anything about it at the time? Tell us these things and then maybe we'll be able to help.
