Remember how much I love Chase? They’re at it again! Chase sent a letter today stating they are reducing our balance by $700. This dumb move will make our credit utilization 90% of the card.

The reason why? Because we charged too much too fast. Um, huh? We haven’t charged anything on that account in eons, and while we did charge some expenses for our recent trip, we paid them off pretty quickly.links,

I suppose it’s their way of punishing us for not using our card.

They’ve moved to the top of my kill the debt list. I just can’t stand the way they run their business.

Yes, same thing happened to me. I used the card for business expenses, and suddenly I got a letter in the mail in May stating that they are reducing my credit by $700. Credit cards are a wicked business, financial vampires, seduce you and glamour you with promises and then bite you in the neck and try to drain you dry.
I”m paying that one off real quick and then dumping them.
