Sorry about the bad luck.

I’ve made 3 statements before shutdown.

I have a ton of inquiries and new accounts. 

OP states only a couple in the last few months. THAT is what I find odd. OP should’ve been fine

Without knowing what Comenity's AA review caused the shutdown for the OP, it's hard to say.  They typically SP both EQ and EX (and third party providers) shortly after a new account is approved.

 

Regardless, it's still a very messed up process at the end of the day.  I can see it from an UW or risk perspective if they're performing a secondary review because most initial inquiries may or may not yield approvals plus let's face it there's folks who like to game the system, but for those who go bonkers on application sprees and yield several new accounts on their CRs after 1-2 months, then that logic can apply.  Yet, on the opposite spectrum, for individuals who are not credit seekers with a fairly mature profile, low inquiries spread throughout 12-24 months, and get shutdown is definitely a head-scratcher.

To you, sure.  For others, not so much.  One man's trash another man's treasure I suppose.  I've had 0 issues with either of them in the last 15-20 or so years I've had their accounts.

Re: Shut down by comenity for adding ONE visa

My only bad experience, or more accurately, WEIRD experience was with my Wal-Mart card a few years ago - when I was just beginning my effort to rebuild after a nasty divorce. I was so excited to see myself approved online for $1500, at the time my highest yet unsecured credit limit. A month later I got a letter from them informing me they were reducing my CL to $850 and the reason they gave (including the exclamation point even!) was:

"Your credit limit has fallen to 614!"

First reax was to cry, 2nd one was to LMAO, if for no other reason than that stoopid exclamation mark(!). It was like, "You fooled us and let us down within just a few short weeks, you poophead!". Still LMFAO at that one.
