Applied Card Bank - Cross Country Bank Formerly Cross Country Bank Raised THe Annual Fee To Outrageous Amount Wilmington, Delaware

I obtained this credit card when the company was called Cross Country Bank.  I had credit issues as my wife had various health issues and caused large bills even after insurance had paid. They were willing to issue an unsecured card and over time increased my credit line as I kept the account up to date. Eventually they were bought out or sold to Applied Bank. The issue I have is when Applied Bank bought the account I had an annual fee of $50. Recently the company has increased this to $15 per month maitenance fee, or in other words $180 annually. I truly do not understand how they are allowed to do this. Nothing has changed so how can it be that it is costing them $130 a year more to maintain my account, almost quadrupling the original amount?  I am currently working in Iraq to help our service members who are defending the freedom of companies like this so they can stick it to  the consumer. I had to come over as my wife was injured in an auto accident and is unable to work at the moment. As soon as I am able, this card is being paid off and account closed.
