Let me ask quick question or few. my sister inlaw and her husband applied for dish a few days ago and were both denied for service, so im assuming there credit is considered bad .they werent allowed to use the gift card i gave them because of that. so my question is if they had went directly thru dish would it have made a difference being that they went thru a retailer who also ran them for directv (and got the same reply) or are retailers and dish using the same system .. and lastly it they recently pruchased a new car getting a pretty good interest rate why is there credit considered bad by dish?
