Consumer Narrative
My credit report stipulates that the credit card company noted my credit card was over the limit by XXXX. First off, no transaction should go through if I had a limit ; that's on them! Secondary, they reported this 3 weeks before the next billing statement oppose to contacting me or cancelling the actual transaction. I've had this card for nearly 12 years, never late and they contacted the credit reporting agency prior to the due date of the next statement. I am outraged! This is not the first credit card to do this and it won't be the last because any credit card company will continue to do the same after viewing my credit report. Furthermore, I know the credit cards have increased their interest charges and this notation on my credit report will only lead to the other companies raising my interest rates, denying me any future credit cards as well as lowering my credit score. I've had Amex lower my XXXX XXXX XXXX credit limit to XXXX and they imposed 2 separate interest rate fees for the same balance on the billing statement while raising my interest from XXXX to XXXX percent. I received no notice whatsoever and while demanding that they forward the statements to me, it took 8 months to do so when I told them I would contact you. They did this in a sneaky way considering everyone has gone paperless in todays world. I have never been late with any of my credit card companies, I have a great standing on my report with all credit card companies being paid on time, never late and they had the audacity to imposed limitations on me and try to destroy my credit. Because of this nonsense I am now a target for anyone who reviews my credit report. It will become discriminatory! They have scarred my name and any time I will need to apply for any card or loan I will be the subject of a review. This needs to be resolved immediately because I am not the only one going through this. I've had 2 other credit card companies lower my credit limit while raising my interest rates and imposing a " over the credit limit on my report '' without having any knowledge of such. I wasn't informed! This is an obstruction of XXXX and they should be reprimanded and fined. They are all following the same pattern because they are getting away with it!
