Old Navy Credit Card CL DECREASE!!!!

I went online this morning to pay a small $90 balance on my Old Navy credit card and noticed that just yesterday they lowered my cl from $2200.00 to $250!!!!!  WTH?!  I have always paid my card on time.  This is my oldest card since i started rebuilding my credit 2 years ago.  I did go on an app spree last month and go approved for some great cards, but only 2 are GEMB cards to my knowledge and even adding those two cl to what Old Navy has now lowered my cl to doesn't come close to what I had!  I am so annoyed!  The card has been in my sd for the past month because I don't need it now that I have prime cards, but it's lowered my overall credit amount.  Just when I thought things were going so well...

Sorry to hear about that!!

Target did the same thing to me because I was not using the card enough. And then the next time I tried to use it...they had closed the account. I think it is pretty common for store cards to act this way.

Until a few weeks ago it was my main card because of the credit limit.  I actually had a pretty high balance on it until January when I paid it off.  They were actually making money off of me!

Any other baddies come up this happened to my gap a year ago I was a week late plus a 30 day late it sucks but can happen. I'd call them and see what the problem is.

Re: Old Navy Credit Card CL DECREASE!!!!

I only called customer service not the backdoor and they couldn't help me at all.  I have to wait for the letter is all they would tell me.  I had an old T-Mobile account show up on my cr recently from Midland Credit (demon spawn and they seem to be showing up as a factoring account (demon spawn), but I paid it off in January.  I have not had any other late payments on my accounts in almost 3 years and no other baddies.  I was not planning on using the card, but hate that the decrease wil lower my overall credit amount on my cr...

Re: Old Navy Credit Card CL DECREASE!!!!

That's probably why. They sp frequently and if they see areas of concern down you go. Try calling back door have them sp a current report. But high utility though paid off plus collection they don't like it.
