Only apply for the credit you need.  If you apply for 71 new credit accounts, you're in need of a lot of credit, or have an addiction to applying for new credit.  Most people that apply for so much credit are an extremely high risk to all creditors. 

The guy from Popeye who says "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today..." is not the type of customer that banks want to take a risk on today

Unbeleivable and very scary. They closed all 3 cards especially chase for one who has perfect payment history? This is very worry some. What are they complaining about 12 inq's on EX? I have 71 inq's on my EX

very sorry to hear of this harsh treatment, i imagine you are more disappointed than anything at this point. who wouldn't be?  especially having such a strong banking record with chase as you do...  not to mention your family history with them.

i am glad at least to hear that you won't have 3 accts. closed by issuer listed on your cbr.  though we know technicallly 'closed by issuer' is not supposed to be a cause for alarm, perhaps it's a bit of  comfort in the face of this horrible news.  i still prefer closed by card holder reported given a choice.  hope the silver lining of this action unveils itself to you in short order.

Thanks SB, after the initial shock last night it's kind of taken it's place in the overall perspective of my life.

I have plenty of CC's from very good lenders to use and will give them more of my business now, hopefully they will show more respect for that business than Chase has. Mostly CU cards but a few prime banks still.

I will write some letters and maybe get some response but I do not have high hopes after doing some online research as to others who have been experiencing the same (or worse) treatment by Chase.

As far as others here I hope they can take any info provided and prepare yourself for possibly some of the same treament.  

AMEX has been well documented on these boards but with outside research on the web I'm finding out Chase isn't very far behind. It just hasn't been as prevalent here at MyFico .

Thanks again.
