will nfcu close account

so I'm asking this for a relative  who has almost 80 K available to Navy Federal credit Union in credit cards

 and he has a few cards different bank that he couldn't pay the bills and it  could go to collection but he's worried.

Will he lose Navy Federal credit union as long as it's up to date and paid I know aome banks close your account  or decrease if it's a good standing since you owe the other cards.?

Re: will nfcu close account

I've seen AmEx and others do it... CLD or close an account in the pre-bankruptcy stages when accounts start to default.

 

I'd expect NFCU to do the same... I mean.. if I was a lender and saw a customer's accounts go derogatory it would set off red flags.

Yes, they aren't going to stand in line and wait for their $80K to be charged off.

If they cannot pay their other cards, how would they pay remaining ones.

Re: will nfcu close account

I went through the same thing, I had about 25k in open credit line with Navy Federal, my utilization was high on almost all my other cards. In my experience Navy Federal didn't close or decrease my credit line. I had a Target Store Card with Td Bank, they did close my account after seeing to much uti on my other cards. I had about three cards with Synchrony Bank. They decreased my limits on my Verizon Visa Card, but not my Paypal or Amazon Store Card. Citibank decreased my limits on my Best Buy Mastercard, but not my Double Cash Card. Maybe because my uti was already high on that card, but idk. Navy Federal is pretty lax in my opinion compared to other banks. My opinion your relative should be fine.

There's a huge difference between having high utilization on cards and having cards charged off for nonpayment.  Account closures, balance chasing, credit line reductions, etc. would definitely be expected if someone is having new charge offs reporting.  Those can of course still happen with excessive and prolonged utilization, but documented inability to pay even minimum payments is an entirely different level.

Re: will nfcu close account

in this case looks 3  out of  eight cards   looks like it's gonna end up in charge-offs

But nfcu is  in good standing

All I asked, if anybody experienced it
