Are credit checks more lenient when applying for Parent Plus Loans vs. Private Student Loans?


Have applied with cosigner for private student loans, but, was rejected in chase and discover. We recently found out that there is a recent collection item in the cosigners credit report, which is a mistake and is being disputed, but probably won’t clear in time. So, if my cosigner (dad) were to apply for a Parent Plus loan, would the credit check be more lenient?
