Right Hand/Left Hand....

For Pete's sake, no wonder credit card companies are in such a mess!I posted here a week or so ago that I bought some business clothes at Dillards for a job interview. I once had a card there but the clerk couldn't find the account and offered to open me one of those instant accounts. It didn't go through and I had to go to customer service. The woman there got all frosty and told me I had been declined and would be getting a letter in the mail. Embarrassing but in the end fine because I just bought two suits with cash. I took it as divine intervention so I wouldn't add to my debt. I got the letter a few days later saying I had been declined because I had too many credit cards open with too much owed. Fine. I decided to take the more expensive suit back yesterday because I didn't really need two. At this point I'm feeling like I am really being sensible.

Then today I get a brand new Dillards card in the mail with a $400 limit. I called to ask why and they said they had no record of me being declined. Sheesh. Talk about the right hand not knowing what the left is doing....
