Consumer Narrative
It should be against the law to have a creditor reduce your credit line. Please realize that this causes a domino effect to our credit! A higher utilization leads to lower credit scores, which other lenders could perceive as an increase in risk and lower the limit of other cards that a consumer has. Im going to reach out to an attorney to see if this can be a cause for a class action lawsuit. This should be prohibited!!!!
