Yes it was inactivate and about 2-3 a month I check all my accounts ( at least try ) just in case something went wrong somehow ( I'll explain below ) Upon checking I saw it was lowered, and apparently it happened recently becasue when I contacted them they said a letter is in the mail.

 

I have opened 2 new credit cards and 1 new line of credit ( reserve line through USBank )

 

No cars loans or anything like that

 

Over a month ago I did pull all 3 reports ( the annual free one ) so it was directly through them

 

 

To explain the "something went wrong" I had once with BOA after I paid a balance ~$100 with a different checking account, I noticed the funds never came out after about a month, I checked and BOA says I'm late on the payment ( It wasn't 30 days from DUE DATE so nothing was reported ) I contacted them furious, they said it came back invalid account number, I told them the number again and it matched what they entered they tried it again and the payment went through. No idea how it messed up, but they wavied the late fee and never reported anything

 

I also had my freedom sit dormant for about 4 months and discovered like a $2 interest charged... after 4 months... Luckily statement didn't cut yet, I called chase, somehow it was a mistake and it was refunded. Ever since then I'm scared of bank errors and of course fraud..

 

 

 

FYI, It makes sense to CLD, I just thought it was weird that they increased it not that long ago and are already CLD...


I watch USBank like a hawk because they more often than not will miss processing a payment. I purposely set up my payments well before due date because I have regular situations where their system does not initate a payment request. So I end up on the due date making a quick minimum payment out of my USBank checking account just to be sure. With 4 CC at US Bank now, it's a regular circus keeping up with the payment dates.

Re: Bank of America is a strange bank.

I too bank with USBank and have several cards with them, although I really only use 1-2, I haven't ever had a problem when I transfer from my USBank account into the credit card, but I am with you about paying at least the minimum as soon as statement cuts just to make sure it goes through.

 

And yeah payment dates, I can't remember every card's, maybe that's why a lot are giving you the option to set which date you want anymore, I still feel like they change each month lol
