Capital One Lowered limit with no notice Internet
*Consumer Comment: I understand your frustration...
I reserved a moving truck to move my deceased mother's furniture, so I made a 1000 dollar payment to Capital One to make sure there was enough money available. Then three days after I made the payment, they lowered my credit limit 1300 dollars and now I dont have a way to pay for the truck, which requires a credit card.
Besides not having a credit card to pay for the truck, it also hurts my credit rating because instead of only oweing 1/2 of my available balance, Now I am almost maxed out again

I understand your frustration...

...but it isn't a valid complaint. Sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure it's a very difficult situation. It sounded to me in your post like you carry a high balance on this specific card and likely on other credit cards you have. "Variable rate" cards can have limits raised/lowered and APR rates raised/lowered without warning or reason (some now have constraints based on the legislation in February). Did you know that the credit card companies have the right to pull your credit report to make a more sound business decision based upon your score, debt, and overall risk to their portfolio? That likely played into this as well. In a tough economy, creditors have to protect their assets as well so that they can continue lending out money to the right people and can make money off of those individuals. I have a 750+ credit score a limited debt to income and nearly all of my cards saw an increase of some amount and some cards even had a reduced limit. The companies are just reducing their overall risk right now and you need to manage your finances better or in other ways.
