Re: Finally rid of credit one

Oh to add, keep a lookout for future statements to make sure you really don't owe anything. Sometimes there might be residual interests fees

Re: Finally rid of credit one

Last statement cut w/ 0 bal called today to cancel it thought I was going to be on w/ the rep forever but I wasn't, told them I want to close the account, they asked why, said your high annual fee, high apr and no grace on purchases are the top reasons.  ok please hold  would it help if I dropped your apr to 18% for 6 months. no just please close the account and report as closed by consumer. ok sir your account is now closed, I was at least expecting a af waiver offer not that it would have changed my mind guess they didn't care since I was only putting less then 50 a month on it and paying it off almost immediately


CONGRATS!!! Smiley Happy

 

It felt sooooo good to shut mine down too!!

Re: Finally rid of credit one

thanks everyone, yea i am totally expecting the next statement to cut w/ some balace because i did mess up and put my amazon prime membership on it before i closed it, i didn't pay that off right away and never saw any intrest charges for and it was on there for a week or  and wouldn't be suprised if they tried to hit me w/ an af.due to the changes cutting the following month. i dont know if they really closed it yet because when i log in to their site it still showes as the whole line ava. i called 2x so far and been told thats normal it will be removed from the system in 90 days, but they claim the account is closed and see that i requested it to be closed. so we shall see
