I got denied once. Turned out it was because a state forgot to update my info after paying a traffic violation. Long story short, got a ticket in neighboring state. Payment sent in mail. Six months later denied purchase of rifle. Find out state never cleared me off their 'list'. State cleared my name, week later purchased same rifle from same shop.

I got denied late last year buying a shotgun for my son for Christmas. This was about 6 months after I got my C&R, and about 2 months after my last gun purchase. I had a LEO neighbor run my name and it came back with a warrant for an unpaid traffic ticket from about 3 years ago for an expired registration. 
My wife gets really irritated with me because I save more receipts than she thinks are necessary. It took me about 5 minutes to find the receipt showing that I had paid it. When I ran it over to the court, they had the ticket marked as 'paid', but not as 'fulfilled'. x 2. They cleared the warrant, give me the paperwork, and I drove to the BCI office about an hour away with the NTN and the court paperwork and had it cleared after waiting about 10 minutes. Drove back to the pawn shop and picked up the gun the same day.
Something to look at with the Suspended License is to whether they consider that valid ID, kind of like an expired license not being valid.

SR-22 is just proof to the DMV that you have the minimum amount of liabailty coverage. It may be required for many reasons including getting caught driving without insurance, DUI and others. I can't imagine how that could make you a prohibited person but not much surprises me these days.
If you asked NICS why you were denied when you first posted here, I imagine you should know this week. I think they are required to provide an answer in 3 business days IIRC.
i hope so some people were saying it took five months i just dont want to wait that long to hear something from them i sent all of my appeal papers on thursday. just asking do they go back and look at your juvenile records there isnt anything but some people said that was there cause of not getting approved

Did you request the reason first or just send them "appeal papers"? I always recommend following the procedure as outlined on the FBI website, I won't beat that dead horse any longer.
As far as whether they consider juvenile records, they are looking to see if the transferee meets any of the federally prohibited criteria below. If a juvy record gets someone there, then I imagine they would consider it, if it's not sealed.
I was recently delayed for thirty days for no reason at all.
Government "in action". (promote the laziest liberal living to run the NICS)
Guilty until proven innocent! We could start a new country with this principle.
I hope Webster aint readin this. LMAO
Instead of spell checking he should read the Rules.

Blame that on your state or gun shop policy ... not on NICS.
Max delay from NICS is 3 business days ... if no further response the dealer is permitted to complete the transfer ... unless state law (or store policy) says otherwise.

geez man, the list keeps getting longer. Sounds like you have a lot of things in your past to straighten out. (im no counselor by all means) But it sounds like you need to straighten your personal life out before you go blowing money on more firearms.
Im not sure about the debt in itself involving a denial. But I think it would probably fall under the "fugitive" from justice If you have been filed against in court for the debt and are dodging the a court appearance or something of that.
Everyone has issues some time or again in life so Good luck. But get it all straighten out man, it will only come back to bite you later.

Going back though my records, I was denied on a Monday the 7th, faxed and emailed NICS on Tuesday the 8th asking for the reason, received the reason in a letter dated Wednesday the 9th on Friday the 11th. So, letter received within 3 days of request.

That is a civil matter, unlikely to trigger a firearms transfer denial. Unless of course fraud is involved.

You never know when you will be added to the banned list and for what reason.
The NICS system was set up for one reason. So that anti-gun groups could petition the government to add more and more people into the list of people banned from the right to keep and bear arms.

Paranoia.....its whats for breakfast.
Nope.
While you can usually attribute every federal requirement as the fault of the antigunners, the FBI NICS IMPROVED the previous system which mandated a waiting period while your local PD ran a background check.
The FBI cannot just arbitrarily add categories to your "banned list", the prohibiting factors have been part of Federal law since 1968.
