Barclays PLC Credit Card Complaint

Other

Barclays PLC Credit card department,

California

Alerted by - that Barclaycard reduced my line of credit. Contacted creditor over the phone. Informed that there decision was not based on my credit history payment or my ability to pay. They informed me that I had been using my other credit cards and asked why. I informed them that we have been fixing the house up as it is for sale and we have an offer on our home. Hoping to close escrow in the next 45 days. My income is more than enough to carry their payment as well as the other debt I have. Income to debt ratio is within guidelines. Pointed out that I have always paid them on time as well as paid off entire high balance several times within the last 2 years. They still were firm as said its not the perfect payment history I carry with them, or my fico, or my ability to pay. I mentioned to them, that reducing my line of credit will trickle a series of events with the other creditors which will affect my fico score. It is not fair to reduce my credit line when there is NO merited. This of course has caused me to be at the edge now of my balance with Barclay Bank of Delaware and the limit of my credit. Which is another factor impacting my fico. If this is not resolved, I have informed the creditor that I will be closing my account due to unfair credit practice. I should n't be punished for using my other credit cards which I have been paying all of them on time.
