The debt-to-income ratio on the first loan is 24.3% which is pretty high IMO.
The second loan is even worse at 25% which makes one wonder how on earth it's an A4
Hopefully Harmoney's new system will do a better job.

A4 because he owns his house without a mortgage.
Low income as over 60 and probably not working but getting the pension plus investment income or part time work.
Actually I see he has been with his employer for 21 years so is still working.

That would have been helpful if he/she used the house as security. I doubt the borrower would sell the house to pay off the loan if lost their job or retired.
Paying off a 77K loan at a very high repayment rate over the next 5 years makes this loan a high risk and low reward.

Owning his house without a mortgage would indicate he has a repayment history which is what would give him points.

I certainly don't have blind faith in Harmoney's loan ratings. However, I don't doubt all loan ratings, just the ones that look questionable.

It just doesn't make any logical sense to me. Why would they borrow 49K at 18.5% when they could have gone to the bank and got a mortgage at 5%?
And the income-to-debt ratio on this loan is 34% which is crazy high.
