Complaint narrative:
Company lowered credit limit time and time again to an amount that was within {$30.00} of the current balance. Original credit limit was {$2500.00} now it's {$1400.00} plus. They kept lower the limit everytime the limit went down. Doing this keeps your usage limit high and it ruins your credit. They refused to put limit back where it was because then they couldn't charged these fraudulent and exorbitant fees. I believe this to be usery with intent to cause financial harm. In addition, they changed credit limit and fees at will and unknown or informed by myself.
