I got some really great advice on this board to call my CCs and ask them to lower my interest rate.
I was successful with 2 of them: Dell and 1FBUSA. They both dropped 4 points.
WaMu told me that they periodically review accounts for CL increases and rate reductions and that there is no way for me to request them. Is this true?
BofA has me very confused. A few months ago they increased my APR from 16.99 to 26.99. I wrote CS an email asking why and received no response. Honestly I just forgot about it until recently. Well, I called and asked them to reduce my interest rate and they looked at my account and said that it's not possible. The rep told me my rate was raised due to my EQ credit score on a pull they did in Jan. The thing that confuses me is I haven't had any baddies since 2003. No new delinquencies. They only thing I can think of is that my utilization has gone up a bit. Would this cause them to jack up the APR?
