So this happened.

I had forgotten to pay my balance and was about 10 days past due. I got the late fee, but they also CLD'd me from $6,000 to $330. 

So I paid it off, told them they turned me off to any synch product ever (which is pretty true), and closed it out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The lower limit already reported so what's the harm at this point, right?

Which card?

Edit: I see. On mobile and Walmart was tiny.

This is typically what SYNCB would do [CLD] whenever late payments or NSF instances happen from several posts on these boards.  From reading the OP, there didn't seem to be any system glitches or a SYNCB issue, correct?

Closed account, the shrug graphic is appropriate.

There’s plenty of other banks better than Sync, you probably won’t even notice they are gone in a year.

Closing it was certainly your prerogative, but had you left it open the credit line most likely would have eventually bounced back. 

Years ago my Lowe's card was CLD to just over $570, and it now sits at $20k and is my oldest credit card.

If you didn't have any use for it anyway closing it was the right move, though.

Sorry that happened! You seem to have a good attitude about it though lol

In all honesty, it's tough to blame them for our mistakes. Capital One, Chase and many others would have closed it for you. Not CLD'd after no payment 10 days out.

The easiest way to prevent this is use that nifty thing called auto pay. It will save you a lot of headaches and heartaches. 😉
At least set it for the minimum balance. $10 missed payment can cost a 7 year ding. Just not worth it IMHO.

+1 trillion. This is something I constantly preach to everybody. You can set multiple reminders and make multiple payments, but having auto-pay is sort of a backup system. The risk is, the day you forget or put it off, is the day you may miss the payment due date. IMHO, it's not worth taking the risk. Set the MP or if you know what your balance is every month, set a consistent payment or just set it to pay the statement balance, something is better then nothing. I rather pay an MP then get a late payment. Most of us make multiple payments so, there's no harm in making an MP and another payment. I don't know why people still don't use auto-pay.

Synch is terrible. Too many other good financial institutions to do business with.

I never understand why people respond emotionally to a lenders action that was caused by improper financial management by the user. You never know when a lender will suddenly show up with 'the next big thing' or at least with something that could financially benefit you in the future, so writing them off due to failing to meet your obligation seems a bit excessive. 

And yeah, it's Synch, but we read these sorts of posts about most all lenders. You made a mistake and seem to think that your decision causes them some sort of heartache while they're just greatful that a red flag just removed itself from their books.
