Synchrony Financial Credit card department,
Credit line increase/decrease Texas
I have a CareCredit Card through Synchrony Bank. It was brought to my attention by - Credit Bureau by email on -/-/2016 that Synchrony Bank, without my knowledge or consent, reduced my line of credit from $7500.00 to $6000.00. I called Synchrony and spoke with a manager as to why this reduction to my credit line happened. I was told by this manager that due to my card being inactive for a length of time ( one year approx. ), Synchrony saw fit to reduce my credit line to help prevent any fraudulent actions ... huh?! I explained that reducing my credit limit would not look good when it 's reported to the credit bureaus, but again was told this action would reduce any potential criminal activity. Which begs the question, if someone were to access my account in a fraudulent manner, what would be the difference between $6000.00 and $7500.00? It would still be an unlawful attempt to pursue monetary gain through identity theft. I would very much appreciate any assistance from CFPB regarding this matter and what, if anything, can be done. Thank you.
