No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Usually balance chasing starts with them pulling CR's and seeing something they don't like.
It's not always because you missed a payment or have lates.
Just the fact of you having 3 cards maxed out could have done it and in some cases some people have seen AA.
Another reason applying for more credit while having maxed out cards remember lenders pull CR's as much as they like.
Take Amex who normally pulls every month but have also been known to pull with large purchases

Have you tried the credit analyst? Hows your overall credit?Yes they are just giving me a hard time. I have perfect payment history. I was actually paying down all my cards to zero balances and then they pull this on me.
I would beg to wonder what caused the AA. Creditors don't normally just close or suspend accounts for no reason. Granted, they don't need to provide a reason; however, something doesn't add up. I'm sure they obtained some recent information (not sure what) which has caused them to take this action.
+1....gotta agree with Fin here. Questions for OP: what is your overall utilization? did you keep a high balance on the BofA for a while? did you suddenly apply for a bunch of credit cards? there are many factors that bank take into consideration other than just having on time payments on their cards? Good luck and hopefully they can restore your credit lines or re-open them.
Yes they were maxed out for a while. No i didn't apply for any cards yet, the plan was to extend my credit with increases and new cards since im such a good customer. They just decided to screw a long time customer for no reason. Now im scared to pay down my 12k limit card and i just want to switch it to a signature so the balance doesn't get calculated into my fico. But so far i called that executive # from before and i have to wait a few days to here a response.

Were you making the minimum payment only prior to PIF?

I wasn't applying for more credit maxed out. I'm paying down any debt i have on all my cards letting them report zero balances, bringing down my utilization. Then i was planning on getting new credit. I never thought this would happen, I haven't applyed for anything yet. All i was doing was paying off my cards in the order they come.

Unfortunately, there's your answer. Maxed out cards and paying the minimum payment only more than likely out you on their radar.
There loss not mine. Im just real mad they did this to me. I always pay my debit, now all this has done was lose me as a customer and i will look for credit elsewhere. I mean it was on $1500 on 1 card and $2400 on the other card, which isn't even $4000 that they did this for.
I also don't understand because i make enough money, 60k a year to cover anything and i have been with my job for 5 years.
