Barclays Credit Card Complaint

Credit line increase/decrease

Barclays Credit card department,

Credit line increase/decrease Virginia

I received a letter from my credit card company ( Barclays ) advising me that my credit limit had been reduced based on a report from transunion. I contacted the cc company and advised them that I had never missed a payment or had any issues with this card and I do n't understand why my limit was decreased. I was told that - sends recommendations to the cc company and the decisions are made by computers not by humans and that there was nothing that I could do about it. I am filing this complaint because this is abuse by the credit reporting agencies. This decrease resulted in the lowering of my credit score because my available credit was reduced. I think that the credit reporting agency and the cc company have harmed me. The information that was provided by the credit reporting company had nothing to do with my cc and were not a result of any transaction on my cc but yet my cc limit was decreased, which in turn caused a decrease in my credit score because of the reduction of available credit. This is a combined effort of the credit reporting agency and the cc company to hurt my credit score and I do not think that this is right or fair.
