Synchrony Financial Credit card department,
Credit line increase/decrease North Carolina
I have paid my bills on time and have a good relationship with my creditors. However, my new CITGO Rewards Credit Card issued by Synchrony Bank lowered my available credit from $500.00 credit limit to $80.00 credit limit with little or no warning. I learned of this only by logging on to my CITGO account to make a payment. I received no letter informing me of a potential problem with my CITGO credit. A reduction of my available credit, nearly 90 % of my good credit, has caused an increase in my overall credit utilization. Such constructive activity by the credit issuer adversely affects my credit rating where my credit utilization will remain high based on the extreme low credit limits placed by Synchrony Bank. If Synchrony Bank would have left my initial credit limit, then my credit utilization would not be affected, and my credit score would remain steady, secure and much higher than it is today. I could understand if I was in default or habitually behind in payments, which I was not. Constructive credit practices by lenders that affect credit reporting without recourse or corrective measures should be unlawful or illegal especially when there is nothing wrong with the credit account.
