One of my accounts was closed.

Well it is starting with us. I just got an email from a company that we have two accounts with for over 15 years to log on to their sight. Both Accounts had a 12,500 limit on them. This morning the one account has a 5.00 credit limit and had been closed with no notice to me. It had a 0 balance. The other one I still owe on is fine for how long I have no idea. In fact because of snowflaking the payment this month went down by 5.00.
So it starting with us too.

I got a letter in the beginning of December that one of my accounts was closing as of the end of December and should cease using it. I was upset about it figuring it would screw up my FICO, yet I'm a little relieved since it had a high interest.

If you think about it that is kind of a good thing we still have the account kind of open so we keep the 15 year history but then again the company fixed it so it is worthless.
Good for them and not so bad for us NOW since my debt to limit ratio is around 30%

But it is funny if you think about it. I am not going to call them still got the other account open and it has 12,500 limit.
Many banks are closing accounts simply because they can.
All my best,

Really they didn't close the account they just lowered the credit limit (there right)from 12.500 down
Maryann:
We also just got a notice that one of our credit cards would be closed. We hadn't used it in so long, I had to search around to find out which account they were talking about. It wasn't really a CC at all, but a line of credit. I was happy they closed it.
As for the $5.00 limit, my Chase card did that too. I had two Chase accounts last summer and paid off one of them, asking Chase to close it. They kept a strange credit limit on it for a long time, like $12.00. I asked them about it and they said, "That's what we do." I ignored it, knowing I'd never use it. Since the New Year, the account is gone when I check online so I guess they finally honored my request.
We still have plenty of open accounts so I'm not worried. I'm more worried about paying this off and putting money into savings. I've been reading so much about our worthless money that I'm not getting a little neurotic about not trusting banks.
Have a great day,
Dee
