FR AMEX !!!!! _ WHAT DID I DO WRONG ??

[youngman1234]

How does the hard limit work ???? I read on the forum that this happened to others and then a hard limit was placed...... What does that mean.... For example lets say if they put a limit at $2000. Does that mean u can only spend upto 2000 a month ??? or can you spend let say 2000 and then pay off mid month and then charge again..... or if they put a hard limit should I just sock draw it  and for get it and use another card... I basically want to find out what to do next ??? If a hard limit is placed what should I do to not get into a problem later on ......

They called on sat. my brother helped me to fax them all the stuff sat night, and then I called in on monday morning and a kind gentlemen told me that he will look it over and call me back tonight or tommorrow... Just waiting to hear back....Mean while I paid two payments since my FR.... One for $1k and another for $2k is that wrong ????

Hard limit is like CL on the credit card. They might remove it when you use your card responsible.

RON1 i have been reading this forum and over 2 years and always look at your comments and try my best to follow them. You really know alot about credit issues. So i dont understand though ur saying it is bad to charge after you paid the bill off ?? Like for example I charged 750 one week  until sunday.. waited until my check to clear the following thursday and paid off the balance. Meanwhile charged for the following week charges and then paid that amount off the next week. When you say they dont know how much you 're spending what do that mean ??

I think the fact that you added 11 new accounts in one month is what you did wrong. Don't be surprised if you hear from Barclays as well.

Don't worry. You will be fine. Let us know.

Ron.

[youngman1234]

Got it..... Im not going to use this card for work related expenses anymore..... Just for my personal stuff... Will hardly spend a thousand a month now.... lol There goes all the points... 

I thought that if you spend on it and pay it off, it will build your spending limit...
