Bye-Bye Credit One !!!

Happy to say I just got rid of Credit One !

 

I know I will see a bit of a hit to my Util% , but just could not stand paying their high fees any more. When they asked why I was closing the account and I told them because of the monthly fee the rep offered to waive it for 3 months if I would reconsider.  THAT was supposed to make me reconsider !!! ?

Good riddance and good for you!!

 

They served their purpose for you so it was time for them to kick rocks.

 

I got such a jolt as well out of shutting them down last month.

I am thinking they are getting the axe from me today. I called to cancel earlier and had the AF waived for the next 3 months...Just did it to mess with them. I'm ending my work day with the termination call.
