Consumer Narrative
This was my first-ever credit card. My account experienced returned payments due to an autopay being linked to the wrong bank account, not due to refusal or inability to pay. Once notified, I immediately corrected the issue and paid all balances in full. Despite this, my account was permanently closed without warning or an opportunity to resolve, which is especially concerning for a first-time credit user. I am requesting confirmation that my account is reported as paid in full, with no late payments, and that no negative or misleading credit reporting results from this closure. I did not receive any notification, warning, or request for correction prior to my account being permanently closed. The only communication I received was a letter sent after my account had already been closed, which removed any opportunity for me to resolve the issue beforehand. Given that this was my first-ever credit card, and that all balances were promptly paid in full once the autopay error was discovered, I believe the lack of advance notice and remediation opportunity was unfair and disproportionate.
