Re: BOA CLOSED MY CARD Really????

Here is a related thread from 2016 which I did not see at that time. Sad to hear.

The great thing about the internet is it is easy to find (alleged) counter examples.   So searching for "PNC cut credit limit" brings up, straight away

Someone with $390K income and 5 years of PNC history being CLD for utilization and inqs.

Re: BOA CLOSED MY CARD Really????

BOA is very strange. 6 ish years ago I found out that I had a fraudulent cheques account opened and CO, BOA said it not yours and took care of it they also said I can NEVER have a cheques account with them for the rest of my life but I can have any other product with them. My Credit Card with them $19.300 CL BOA said was fine but a cheque account risk even tho it was found not mine. BOA is very strange.

BOA is known to close accounts or cld. You don't hear about it as often as Barclays. But, it does happen. In fact it can happen with any lender. That is why they sp our reports monthly to evaluate their "risk". Unfortunately when there is high util reporting or a significant lower score, they can and will take action. Sorry this happened to you. Good move to move your accounts to Navy Federal. Smiley Wink

Yes, as baller4life says, any lender can do this, although among the myFico population at least, some lenders seem much more prone than others.

 

Also, it will always happen with no notice when there are certain perceptions of risk, if the bank thinks something is "wrong" with their risk on the account, they won't want to allow any transactions to continue

OP could you please share what your utilization was on the card and total debt.. because 30% of say $100k is far more alarming to banks than 30% of $20k. It seems that adverse action might be more common at around $10k and up revolving debt; regardless of utilization percent. At least from the anecdotal reports where no other reason was apparent.  It's helpful to be able to compare our usage and profiles so we can take measures. I hope you get your card reinstated.

Re: BOA CLOSED MY CARD Really????

Very sorry. This is how my creidt decline started back in 2008-BofA (actually FIA) closed my $42k limit card because of high balances on my other cards. I know how crappy that feels when you were a good customer all those years. It would be one thing if you defaulted or something like that but to get shut down for using the credit that you had been given based on your credit and income is really not cool IMO. If you kept those balances for years it is one thing-maybe a sign you are in trouble. But if you have high balances for maybe 3-6 months.... i don't get how that is bad.

Anyway-sorry again. I really know how you feel and I know how activating it is.
