Re: DO NOT apply for Anything with CHASE

Are the cards listed in you signature your only open credit lines?  If so its ridiculous for them to say that's too much available credit.

I'm curious why you're doing all of this speculation instead of being a reasonable person and calling/meeting with someone to find out what happened? You're feeding your emotions instead of your rationale. Sounds like you don't want to know so you can continue being upset. Stop playing the victim and allow Chase to share with you their findings! Good grief!


Gosh you people are vitriolic!  I will definitely be more cautious with posting here and go back to reading ...

 

"playing a victim" - REALLY???  I found this out at 10:00 PM last night (when I logged in to pay the darn bill!) and when I called they said I had to speak to someone in lending this morning at 8:00 so I DID ON MY WAY TO A BRANCH.

 

"feeding my emotions instead of your rationale" ..... 

 

THE FIRST MOMENT I COULD PHYSICALLY BE ON THE PHONE WITH THEM I WAS - GEEZ PEOPLE - GUESS I AM THE BIG IDIOT FOR THINKING THIS WAS A SUPPORT COMMUNITY.  

 

NOTED.

Curious here as well.  Also, the OP mentioned sending a Western Union to someone.  Could that generate a flag?


I did ask specifically about this and they nope not an issue ....

 

Too much available credit was all they could come up with.  End of discussion with 3 different people calling in and 2 hours of sitting there.  So at the end of the day, when my NFCU card increase took effect, I guess Chase didn't like that and feels like I don't need them.  Odd they would shut down 2 business cards that don't report on my personal credit report based on the above statement but that was their story and that is what they are sticking to.

 

Business Banker asked me to send him the letter when I get it in the mail and he will try to have it overturned.  He literally said "this is why we are losing clients" and concretely told me I was not the only one this was happening to.

Sorry OP. I really hate that "too much available credit" excuse. If you're responsible with it, then they shouldn't care. I don't blame you, I'd move my money too. Screw em! Smiley Mad

I really believe that something you have been doing spooked them.  I will be honest, I have read a lot of your posts and you had a lot going on in November and were moving pretty fast trying to rapidly build business credit.  You mentioned you move millions through various accounts with various banks and have had issues with other banks?  Something is just not adding up.  You are best served meeting in person at a Chase branch and find out where you stand.  We are pretty curious at this time because there may be more to the story.  Please update the status later so we can all rest easy since you came right out and warned people not to bank with Chase.


WHAT?  I was rapidly trying to build business credit?   Um no .... I have been building business credit for years - please go back and reread.  I think I told someone there is nothing fast about building business credit.  It takes an ENORMOUS amount of time and effort.

 

And what does running a multi million dollar company have to do with the price of tea in china?  My issue with BOA has nothing to do with my actual business but rather a business banker no following through on several things - completely unrelated here and nothing credit related so not sure what you are even referencing other then I expressed dismay with Corporate Banking in General and was contemplating moving much of my business from BOA to Chase due to the lack of follow through - AS ANY SMART BUSINESS PERSON WOULD IF YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS ARE NOT BEING MET.

 

Again - I have banked at Chase since 2008.  I loved Chase right up until last night.  I can literally quote the lending department from Chase today as well as the staff in the branch - "you have too much available credit and as a conservative bank we have decided to close these credit accounts for the time being".  When you do nothing but make early payments, over payments, often pay in full payments, and steadily use their product in the same fashion and keep $$ in their bank and their staff finds the closings to be ridiculous and are quite literally embarrassed - be forewarned and do as you see fit!  Best of luck and I am by far not the only one this has happened to without cause and without notice!


Re-reading my post it appears that I was questioning you, that wasn't it.  I meant there is something that was spooking them and thought maybe the recent months credit building rubbed them the wrong way.  You were doing a lot of business of late and it was apparent they didn't give you the whole story, matter of fact, no story.  It's sad when the customer has to seek out the answers.  As far as them saying they are a conservative bank, they are full of BS lol.  They have always been one of the more liberal banks as far as everything I ever read about them.  I've never really banked with them to know first hand anything.

Dang bro take a breath, it'll be alright.  If they messed up they'll fix it, if not just move on and don't take it so personal.   Shoot wasn't all that many years ago they were turning my cards on and off so much it was like a wall switch in a dark room, and I didn't get near this worked up LOL.  I just said, "oh well won't be eating out this week."

 

One of y'all buy gray a beer.

 


Wish I drank ... 

 

It is personal when you work so hard to build so much and you do everything you are suppose to - it is like a punch in the face ..... Sorry but - #1 not a bro so maybe that is part of the "emotional" reaction Smiley Happy and #2 I do millions of dollars with both BOA and Chase and BOTH have literally just $%&^ on me in last 30 days for whatever reason ....

 

I spent 2 hours at the branch this morning, where they know me quite well and even the staff was appalled and embarrassed for the bank.  I have too much available credit.  What exactly does that mean?  I haven't misused my credit, I haven't abused my credit, I haven't changed my utilization .... I simply have too much available to me according to chase.  If I would like to close some of my other accounts they can review again in 30 - 45 days - 

 

So Basically because NFCU showed me love Chase is Jelly?  IS that what I am to understand? .... If so, I am MORE then happy to move all things $$ to NFCU.  I am really tired of Corporate banking BS.  I am not the biggest customer out there but I am not the smallest either and sorry guys but it IS personal when you don't matter to the people overseeing your finances .... Payment history means nothing, Money in the bank means nothing, Retirement funds, Portfolios, Merchant Processing, Responsibility with credit utilization means nothing .... okay then what is the point?  What does matter??????

 

Sorry if I am missing something here ..... someone else I am sure will be all too happy to take my money, this was just kind of a last straw thing between the 2 big banks with all of my business .... Sorry if you guys felt I overreacted, I DO take it personally, I work very hard - like all of you - and try SO hard to keep the debt down - the payment early - statement cuts at 10% or less and all that jazz and all for nothing apparently - it isn't as if I started banking with them a week ago or these accounts were established a month or ANYTHING changed with my spending habits, deposit habits, or credit report .... it was simply uncalled for.

 

If they feel overexposed - a secure email letting me know as a courtesy would have at least lessened the blow etc.  Just really poor business practices and when their own staff can't defend them you know it is corporate red tape BS and they literally said "this is why we are losing clients" .... My business banker was literally appalled.  


Wow, interesting.  Based on the numbers you have been speaking in your posts it would seem that a total of 50.3K in personal credit and 32.5K in business credit is seriously nothing large at all.  I also seriously doubt Chase is jelly over NFCU.

Re: DO NOT apply for Anything with CHASE

OP, it is their choice to cut your credit lines due to their risk assessment and it is your choice to choose to move your business. The comments yesterday were merely focused on saying you should consider waiting till you find the reason behind the frozen/closed lines before you start ranting about Chase. Big banks tend to have well developed risk assessment models and when they close accounts, they usually have a reason. Occasionally, they make mistakes too. Either way, waiting till after your meeting today before claiming Chase did something crazy would have been the reasonable choice. 

 

 

It sounds to me like you are running a sole proprietorship or some type of business where there is no distinction between the business and the individual (i.e. not a corporation, LLC, etc). Perhaps Chase feels that you the individual has too much available credit based on their internal algorithms. I don't know whether they made a good or bad decision, but it was their decision to make. If other banks (you mentioned BoA) made similar decisions, perhaps your credit behavior is risky based on their defined standards. You have the choice of trying to conform your credit behavior, separate your personal and business credit (e.g. form a corp), or move your business to another institution that will work with you. Good luck with whatever choice you make.

Re: DO NOT apply for Anything with CHASE

Your best bet, moving forward, if you can, and it works for you personally and for your business, is to move your relationship over to a smaller community commercial bank, or even a credit union? You mentioned Navy being one of them? Im so sorry to hear Chase did that to you, US Bank shut me down a week ago with 2 of their credit cards, I decided to end the relationship right then and there, I did what I felt was right for me, its very scary to think banks can have this much control over us financially, it seems, to me anyways, the BIGGER the bank, the greater the loss they see, so they put all these monitoring services in place, one little thing triggers it, and BOOM, your out in the cold, and as far as them not sending you an emal? I agree, not very professional at all on their end. Chase is so huge their branch bankers are basically at the mercy of a centralized center that controls a majority or just about every product they are offering. Smaller banks are more one on one, personable, and the President of the bank can be found at the end of the hall, in a small building, instead of the 20th floor of some sky scraper in Manhattan. There lies the issue!

Yes, I think that's pretty crazy and makes me concerned for all my accounts.  Also I do think you have a lot of support in this community especially because most of us have Chase products and wondered what could cause this to hsppebpn to you.  If I can make a suggestion and you can it for what it's worth: You have every right to be very upset and more so than most of us if this were to happen to our accounts because you run your business accounts through them as well.  It's very difficult for people to interpret Internet message board postings and often what someone posts is taken the wrong way.  My suggestion would be in your posts to ease up on all the all caps and exclamation points etc... I know that it's not your intent to direct your anger at readers of this board but sometimes it might come across that way.  No one here should assume or have assumed that you did anything wrong for this action to take place and please don't assume that we don't care because we do.  It's total BS for Chase to do this especially in the manner that they did.  If they had concerns they should have contacted you and discussed it upfront and not done it where you only find out by logging into an account.

 

If it were me I tell Chase to pound sand and use NFCU or some other bank.  I wish you the best.
